Mega Millions tickets are set to cost $5 per play, the first price increase since 2017. The increase was announced in October.
The Mega Millions jackpot was last hit Jan. 17, when an Arizona player won the $112 million grand prize, lottery officials said. To score the jackpot in the Mega Millions, a player must match all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball. The odds of scoring a jackpot prize are 1 in 302,575,350.
“The club doesn’t play Mega Millions often, but felt lucky and decided to buy a ticket,” club spokesperson Anthony Jabbour said, according to the lottery. “When our member with the ticket checked the numbers and saw five matches, he cried tears of joy!”
Another winning Mega Millions ticket worth $1 million has been sold in Crawford County, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.
