Big Money Winning Mega Millions Ticket Sold In New York

It was a very lucky night for one Mega Millions player in New York State last night.

The New York State Lottery announced that there was one "Big Money" winning Mega Millions ticket sold in the state from Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing.

That ticket matched four out of five numbers and also had the Mega Ball so it claimed the 3rd place prize of $10,000.

Tuesday's winning Mega Millions numbers were: 27-30-56-64-65 with a Mega Ball of 22.

No one claimed the grand prize, so the jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions drawing is now up to $28 million dollars.

The Mega Millions is played every Tuesday and Friday Night and tickets cost $2 per ticket for a regular ticket and $3 per ticket that has the Megaplier.

The Megaplier can double, triple, quadruple, or even increase the winning amount of the ticket by 5 times.

The odds of winning the Mega Millions grand prize jackpot is 1 in 302,575,350, but the good news is that the odds of winning a prize is 1 in 24.
