OK, how was it fess-up.
Yes Virginia, there is a Mega Millions Jackpot Winner - Ticket Sold in the Old Dominion Takes Entire Estimated $230 Million Jackpot
It is only a small slip of paper - but it is now worth an estimated $230 million. One Mega Millions ticket matched all six numbers in the February 20, 2004 drawing to win the estimated $230 million jackpot. That ticket was sold in Stephens City, Virginia.
The jackpot win comes after weeks of building excitement in the eleven Mega Millions states. In addition to the jackpot winner, more than 2.7 million tickets won prizes in the February 20 drawing. That includes 56 tickets that each won $175,000 and 209 tickets that each won $5,000. Even without the jackpot winner, Mega Millions players won nearly $23.8 million.
"We are delighted that this huge jackpot was won in Virginia," says Virginia Lottery Executive Director Penelope W. Kyle, who is also President of the Mega Millions Consortium. "This is the largest jackpot ever won in Virginia and the third-largest Mega Millions jackpot ever. It is also the largest Mega Millions jackpot ever won by a single ticket."
The winning numbers in Friday's drawing were: 01-13-20-21-30 and the Mega Ball number was 24.
The 56 tickets that each won $175,000 did so by matching the first five numbers and only missing the Mega Ball number. Those tickets were sold in Georgia (3), Illinois (5), Maryland (4), Michigan (3), New Jersey (8), New York (18), Ohio (7), Texas (6) and Virginia (2).
Here is a breakdown of the 2,727,822 winning tickets:
1 ticket matched all 6 numbers to win the JACKPOT!
56 tickets matched 5 numbers for $175,000
209 tickets matched 4 numbers + the Mega Ball for $5,000
10,653 tickets matched 4 numbers for $150
10,454 tickets matched 3 numbers + the Mega Ball for $150
143,895 tickets matched 2 numbers + the Mega Ball for $10
490,572 tickets matched 3 numbers for $7
774,473 tickets matched 1 number + the Mega Ball for $3
1,297,527 tickets matched the Mega Ball for $2
Mega Millions is played in Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington. Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 PM Eastern Time, 10:00 PM Central Time and 8:00 PM Pacific Time.
