A Texas resident woke up a millionaire this Saturday after the drawing of Mega Millions which was held on Friday. Mega Millions is a popular lottery in the United States where players choose numbers and can win attractive prizes if they match the numbers drawn.
The lucky winner from Creedmoor, a city near Austin, matched all five white ball numbers (3, 8, 31, 35, 44) along with the Mega Ball number 16. This win comes as the jackpot for Mega Millions continues to climb, now reaching a whopping $1 billion.
This marks the sixth time in less than six years that the Mega Millions jackpot has reached this sum, as no ticket has matched all six numbers drawn. Despite the jackpot remaining unclaimed, the lucky resident from Texas is celebrating their million-dollar win.
The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26, with an estimated cash value of $525.8 million if someone claims the jackpot. Recent Mega Millions winners in Texas include a million-dollar win in Richwood, a city south of Houston. Mega Millions continues to captivate players with its high jackpots and attractive prizes, making it one of the most popular lotteries in the country.
