“A lucky ticket holder in Illinois just won an extra special Christmas present! One Mega Millions ticket sold in the state matched the five white balls drawn on Tuesday night, December 15 – 18, 25, 47, 51 and 61 – to win the second-tier prize in the Mega Millions drawing. Normally worth $1 million, the ticket purchase included the optional Megaplier for an extra $1. With the 5x Megaplier for the drawing, the ticket is worth $5 million.
“Fifteen times this year a Match 5 winning ticket has included the Megaplier – nine of them resulting in $5 million prizes. Other $5 million prizes have been won this year in Arizona, Florida (2), Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
“The Match 5 winning ticket just missed winning the estimated $74 million jackpot, missing only the gold Mega Ball of 5. The jackpot rolls to an estimated $85 million ($52 million cash option) for the next drawing on December 18.”
The website goes on to report on another winner:
“A new scam is making the rounds on social media, promising million dollar prizes from ‘Mega Millions.’ Most recently this scam is using Instagram but similar attempts have been made on Facebook and other social media channels.
“These scams are not connected in any way to the real Mega Millions game, and are fraudulently using our name, our logo and our images. Lottery officials strongly warn people not to click on any links associated with these scams.
“The only way to play Mega Millions and possibly win a prize is to buy a Mega Millions ticket from a state lottery or a licensed retailer in one of those states. Mega Millions is played in 46 jurisdictions: 44 states plus the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. If you do not buy a ticket, you cannot win.”
