ALCORN COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – A $3 million Mega Millions ticket was purchased in Corinth, Mississippi.

Officials with the Mississippi Lottery Corporation (MLC) said the ticket was purchased on Friday, February 2 from BlueSky #708.

The ticket matched all five white ball winning numbers, but not the Mega Ball, making the ticket worth $1 million. However, the player purchased the Megaplier game feature that multiplies winnings from 2 to 5 times, depending on the number drawn. The Megaplier number for Friday was 3.

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 in January 2023.

The lottery retailer who sold the winning ticket is eligible to receive $5,000.

The estimated jackpot for the Tuesday evening drawing of Mega Millions is $358 million, with an estimated cash value of $174.2 million. The jackpot for Monday’s Powerball drawing is an estimated $214 million, with an estimated cash value of $105.7 million.
