Lucky winner scores $3 million, second largest prize in Mississippi Lottery history
CORINTH, Miss. (WLBT/Gray News) – A winning lottery ticket sold in Corinth, Mississippi, scored the second largest prize in state history.
According to the Mississippi Lottery, a ticket purchased at a BlueSky gas station for Friday’s Mega Millions drawing matched enough numbers to win $1 million.
Because the player paid a dollar extra for the multiplier, the prize amount jumped to $3 million.
The $3 million prize is the second largest in Mississippi Lottery history.
The largest winning amount was $4 million from a winning Mega Millions ticket last January.
The lottery retailer who sold the winning ticket is also eligible to receive $5,000.
