$1M lotto ticket sold at Baltimore County liquor store

BALTIMORE -- One lucky lotto player is a million dollars richer after buying a Mega Millions ticket at a liquor store in Windsor Mill according to the Maryland Lottery. 

The ticket was sold at Milford Liquors located at 8100 Liberty Road. Wednesday's drawing made the buyer a millionaire. 

The winner missed the right to claim the jackpot by the Powerball. With the last ball they would be a whopping $148 million richer. But still, a million bucks is nothing to scoff at. 

Milford Liquors scored a $2,500 bonus from the sale of that ticket. 

Lottery officials encourage all winners to sign the back of the tickets immediately and put them in a safe location. Winners get 182 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes.  

Players must redeem prizes larger than $25,000 by mail or at Lottery headquarters in the Montgomery Park Business Center. 

Correction: This article previously stated Milford Liquor was in Baltimore City.
