Winning ticket worth $149 million
MIDDLETOWN, Pa. — Someone who bought a multi-state Mega Millions lottery ticket in Pennsylvania is millions of dollars richer.
The Pennsylvania Lottery has sold its first jackpot-winning Mega Million ticket, a $149 million prize from the Tuesday, May 20 drawing.
The winning ticket was sold at White Oak Gas & Grocery on the 1100 block of Fawcett Avenue, McKeesport, Allegheny County.
The winning ticket matched all five white balls, 10, 40, 63, 64, and 69, and the Mega Ball, 7.
The ticket has an annuity value of $149 million or a cash value of $86.1 million.
The retailer will receive $100,000 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
The prize must be claimed and the ticket validated before Lottery officials can identify the winner. Pennsylvania Lottery Mega Millions winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
congratulations!
Here's hoping it's not a politician.
Congratulations are in order.
Congrats to the winner!
I hope Dpoly won it. He's been calling this one for a long time.
Me too.
And if there's one thing Dpoly knows for sure in this old life, I hope it's this: I love ya man.
wow..wasn't me. But wtg to the winner! Good to see it happening in PA.
Congratulations to the winner whoever he or she may be. May you be blessed for the rest of your life and spend the money wisely!
Bring the old matrix back. This new system ain't working. No higher payouts and taking too long for nothing. I ain't playing MM for a few months now.
Theres also a million dollar PB jackpot winner from Penn tonight! Congrats to that winner also!
First MM win for the year, is that what they mean?
I just looked at the MM page, and it is the 1st. However they have won power ball more then a couple times.
Congrats to the lucky winner.
Awesome... I can guarantee whoever the winner is isn't at work right now, enjoy your new life
Pennsylvania is a big state and know it has lots of players. It's surprising to read that PA has finally had its first MM winner.
Congrats to the winner in McKeesport in Allegheny County, PA
Congratulation to the winner/s
I was born in McKeesport!! Very cool to see this!!!
LOL, Thanks, not me!
I have been to White Oak many times, just not lately ............
A very blue collar area, moderate income area.
Mckeesport City is very blighted with the collapse of the Mon Valley steel industry.
But, I am happy that we now have our first MM Jackpot!
and in speak of the widdle demon spawn
I agree there been mega millions winner JP in PA before I am very confused. Has to be this year. Mega Millions been around in PA for ever.
Guess I was wrong only 4 years Mega been selling in PA. Seems a lot longer.
Glad PA finally got a mega millions winner then. Congrats to who ever won.
Sounds as if whoever won it, needed it, big congrats to them. But here's hoping the next PA winner is you, dpoly.
In other news, really don't think this new matrix is working the way they intended it to. It's looking more and more like they should have left it alone.
WTG PA!
Thank you!
Best of luck to you also!
Wow, I've often thought about doing this with MM... Would be interested in hearing the result, even if it's a few bucks.
Hope he wins something otherwise it's $300 worth of scrap paper for his birthday.
Congrats to the winner!
Break even. Just got the money back. I guess I'm going to buy him a real present...lol
For last night's draw? Payout with powerplay was $200. There were no $300 payouts for that draw.
Sorry...that's not what I meant. I mean some I got just PB and some 2-number with PB and so forth it all added up to 300.
Good observation.
Dang, that's pretty good.
The odds to get one 2/5+PB match is 1 in 706 and one 3/5 match is 1 in 360 . With your 150 ticket purchase (or 100 with Powerplay) you really defied the odds to get your money back.
Mega Millions has always been Maryland friendly for some reason. Congrats to the winner in Pennsylvania. Ah, you will always remember the first. You're remember that the first PA winner wasn't you.
