GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA - A winning lottery ticket worth mega-millions was sold right here in the east.
The Mega-Millions Jackpot winning ticket was sold inGreenville. The ticket matched all five white balls and the Mega Ball, and is worth $56.5 million dollars. The jackpot was split by another winning ticket in California.

3 – 19 – 21 – 44 – 45 Mega Ball 29.
The winner of the jackpot has 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim the prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.
It seems the Tar Heel State has had a lucky run with the lottery in recent years.
“This is our second Mega Millions Jackpot,” said Alice Garland, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery. “So overall we’re celebrating our fifth jackpot the same year we are celebrating our first five years of sales.”
CYPRESS PARK (KTLA) -- A one dollar investment is paying off big for one local lottery player.
A Mega Millions ticket for Friday's jackpot worth more than $56 million dollars sold at Convenience Retailers on 2250 North Figueroa Street, according to a statement from the lottery.
The ticket matched all six numbers ? 19, 45, 21, 3, 44, and the Mega number of 29.
A second ticket sold in North Carolina also matched all six numbers, splitting the $113 million jackpot.
The store will get a bonus of $282,500 for selling the winning ticket.
Friday's jackpot marks the first time since June the multi-state lottery surpassed $100 million.
Three other tickets in California -- sold in Van Nuys, Long Beach and West Covina -- also won, matching 5 numbers and will split the $433,041 prize.
The winner has 60 days to claim the prize, or the money will go to the state.
Cindy Magnes, one of the 20 Melville Costco employees who won a $203 million Powerball jackpot in June, is scheduled to appear in this Saturday's episode of "The Suze Orman Show" on CNBC.

In the months after receiving a $3.15 million windfall after taxes, Magnes became anxious and overwhelmed about making the right choices with her money and she decided to contact "The Suze Orman Show to find out how to invest the winnings wisely", according to a CNBC spokeswoman.
On Saturday's show, which is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. with a repeat at midnight, Orman and Magnes will discuss the best ways to secure her family's future with her lottery winnings. To view a preview of the show, click here.
A Toronto-area teacher who backpacked through Europe and slept on couches this summer was unaware he had a winning $21-million Lotto Max ticket stuck to his fridge at home.
Craig Henshaw, 42, said Tuesday he bought the ticket at a gas station in July, pinned it to his fridge with a bunch of other tickets and left for Europe a few days later.
He forgot about the tickets over the summer. But once school started again, he realized he had a stack to check through.
"I had no idea I had $21 million sitting on my fridge at home," he said after being presented with an oversized cheque.
"I wouldn't have been living out of a backpack for two months if I'd known (about the money)," he added.
Clad in a Hawaiian print shirt, Henshaw said he was ready to travel some more.
He plans to take his whole family on a trip and return to Europe with his girlfriend. But this time they won't be sleeping on any couches, he said.
Henshaw said he spent a day walking around with the winning ticket in his pocket before checking it at a grocery store on the way home from work.
Thought he'd won $21,000
Initially believing he had won $21,000, he dropped his phone when a lottery official told him the ticket was in fact worth $21 million.
The wood shop and technology teacher called in sick Tuesday before claiming his prize at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming prize centre in Toronto.
"Surprise! I'm not really sick," he joked in front of TV cameras.
"There's no checkmark or box in the absence form that says 'lottery winner,' " he explained. "It just says 'personal illness' or 'funeral' — and this is way better than a funeral."
The lucky numbers — a random "Quick Pick" combination — left Henshaw the only winner of the July 8 jackpot.
Henshaw said he'll use some of his winnings to pay for his nieces' and nephew's post-secondary education, and possibly to get married to his girlfriend.
He plans to take a year off from teaching, but said he enjoys it too much to imagine a future without it.
MOUNT PLEASANT, MICHIGAN — Auburn-area lottery winner Leroy N. Fick has been charged with drug offenses in Isabella County.
Fick, 59, of Williams Township, raised the public ire when it was learned he continued to receive state food assistance after he won the $2 million Make Me Rich! lottery jackpot in 2010.
Prosecutor Larry Burdick authorized charges against Fick after sheriff’s deputies discovered prescription painkillers in his possession during a Sunday traffic stop in Chippewa Township.
Fick, who was pulled over for speeding, is facing single felony counts of possession of hydrocodone, 25 to 50 grams, and possession of hydromorphone, as well as possession of analogues and a misdemeanor charge of operating on a suspended license.
Because of a prior drug charge, Fick faces up to eight years in prison for each of the first two charges, up to four years for the third, and 93 days for the misdemeanor.
Fick is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday.
Burdick released no additional information about the case.
Fick also is facing nine misdemeanor charges, primarily traffic offenses, in Bay County, court records show.
State authorities defended Fick’s use of a Bridge Card, the electronic alternative to food stamps, saying he is eligible under guidelines that do not consider assets when determining eligibility.
The state Department of Human Services, the agency that administers federal food assistance funds, recently announced a policy change. Effective Oct. 1, the agency will begin factoring in liquid assets.
Charmaine Watson makes an unlikely theatrical impresario. At the age of 31, she lives in a modest home in Eynsham, a backwater of Oxfordshire. Yet this year the quietly spoken woman, who has never been abroad, has decided to step into the backstage world of the musicals she has always loved.
Watson's daring move has been made possible by a large lottery win that has given her a new purpose in life. A victim of sustained bullying during her school days, Watson is now using a large chunk of the money she won to finance a rock musical with an anti-bullying message that opens in London next month.
"The songs in this show make you feel you can achieve anything you want to," she said. "I have always been one to go to every show I can and I'm really hoping that this will change some of the lives in the audience. If one child watches it and feels able to tell their parents or teachers about bullying, this will be the best lottery money I could ever have spent."
The show, Stand Tall, is directed by Simon Greiff, who took the hit Queen musical We Will Rock You on tour, while the musical supervisor is Peter White, who directed the orchestra for the anniversary production ofLes Misérables at the Barbican last year.
Like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Stand Tall started as a show for schools, based on the David and Goliath story. "We are living the dream now because of all the interest," said the show's publicist, Michael Dove.
"I approached Charmaine to see if she was interested in investing, partly because she was local to us in Oxfordshire. She really bought into the show when she heard the music and that's why we made her associate producer."
Written by Lee Wyatt-Buchan, Aldie Chalmers and Sandy Chalmers, the musical has already won a Princess Diana anti-bullying award for its message. The author Philip Pullman was one of its early fans and West End producers became interested two years ago.
Watson's decision to invest £20,000 in Stand Tall was due to the bullying she endured at secondary school, an experience that caused her to suffer a complete loss of confidence, she says. "I was just the wrong face in the crowd. I was shy and they made fun of me for living in a council house, for my weight, my height, my hair colour – everything. They picked on me every day for five years and I hated going to school so much that I would make myself physically sick. One day I just ran home crying into my mother's arms and she contacted the school. It took years for me to recover."
Watson's £2.3m lottery win came six years ago when she was struggling to bring up her first child, Ryan, on her own. "My grandad started buying me a lottery ticket every Wednesday after my 16th birthday, but that week he checked the wrong numbers," she said. "On Friday, my phone was ringing from about five in the morning because my grandmother had checked them again. I went round to their house with my son and they held up the numbers to show me."
Watson still feels shocked by her luck. "Even now it hasn't sunk in. I am overwhelmed that I can give my children things I never had. I bought a home for my son and me, and I bought my mother her home too."
Just before her big win, Watson began a relationship with an old friend, Robby, and the couple, now married, have two children together, Georgia and Daniel. She has recently trained as a florist and hopes to open a shop in the area.
"I spoke to my bank manager about investing in Stand Tall and he explained the risks, but I decided to take it into my own hands," she said.
Watson plans to attend the premiere at a south London theatre next month. But if the show goes on to tour abroad, like We Will Rock You orLes Misérables, she will have to get her first passport.
A newspaper misprint caused heartbreak for a California woman who thought she had hit the jackpot.
Elida Betancourt, 69, plays the lottery four times a week and on Tuesday morning her ticket matched the numbers in the local paper for the $54 million Mega Millions lottery.
After double and triple checking, she began to cry and scream. Her son was washing up and rushed into the living room when he heard his mother screaming.
“I thought something had happened to her, that she was having a heart attack or something,” her son, Ray Betancourt, told ABCNews.com.
“She had tears in her eyes. She was crying and saying, ‘I won the lottery! I won the lottery!’” Betancourt said of his mother’s reaction. “And I said, ‘Oh my God! I can’t believe this, mom. It’s a prayer from God. It’s from Dad.”
Betancourt lost her husband six weeks ago and the family immediately thought the lottery win was a gift from Oscar Betancourt. With a leaky roof and California’s rainy months fast approaching, the family thought all of their worries were over. The couple used to spend $100 a week playing the lottery together.
The Betancourts began calling extended family members to come over and celebrate. Amid the excitement, Ray and his sister, Anita, decided they should go to the Fresno, Calif., store where they bought the ticket and check the numbers. Much to their surprise, the numbers didn’t match up.
They called the local newspaper, the Fresno Bee, and the paper discovered it had made a mistake. It had printed last Friday’s numbers by mistake. The paper called later to apologize, but that was of little comfort to the disappointed Betancourt family.
“I didn’t know what to think because I was so excited, because of all the money and then all of a sudden the numbers were not the ones,” Elida Betancourt told ABC’s Fresno affiliate, KFSN. She said the experience was “very, very painful, very painful. You can imagine that.”
“It broke her heart. Everything came to a halt,” Ray Betancourt said. “No more high. Nothing.”
