$3M lotto ticket sold at Terry's Food in Fort Worth
AUSTIN(CBSDFW.COM) – Fort Worth is home to a new multi-millionaire.
Someone claimed the second-tier Mega Millions prize worth $3 million for the drawing on Aug. 30.
The winning Quick Pick ticket with Megaplier matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn (2-38-55-57-65), but not the Mega Ball number (17). The Megaplier number was 3.
The ticket was bought at Terry's Food, located at 5221 Camp Bowie Blvd., in Fort Worth.
Mega Millions is played by choosing five numbers from a field of 70 and one Mega Ball number from the second field of 25 numbers. To win the Mega Millions jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn including the Mega Ball.
Players matching fewer numbers may not win the jackpot, but still walk away winners.
Mega Millions currently offers a $20 million starting jackpot and a second-tier (Match 5+0) prize of $1 million.
By choosing the Megaplier for $1 more per Play, players can multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four or five times, winning as much as $5 million.
Drawings are broadcast each Tuesday and Friday at 10:12 p.m.
The claimant elected to remain anonymous.
