A Mega Millions ticket bought Friday at a North Carolina grocery store is worth $2 million, lottery officials said Saturday.
The winner might not know it, as no one immediately claimed the prize, officials said.
A person bought the $5 ticket at H&M Grocery on U.S. 311 South in Sophia, according to a lottery news release. Sophia is between Greensboro and Asheboro in Randolph County.
The numbers matched those on all five white balls to win $1 million, officials said. With the new built-in multiplier, the prize doubled.
The numbers were 2, 22, 33, 42 and 67, according to the Mega Millions game page.
A player in Texas also won $2 million in Friday’s drawing, the largest prize won nationally, according to the NC lottery.
The odds of matching all five numbers are 1 in 12.6 million.
The NC winner has six months to claim their prize.
The jackpot for Tuesday’s drawing climbed to $250 million as an annuity and $113.5 million cash. The odds of matching all the numbers plus the Megaball are 1 in 290 million.
Players can buy Mega Millions tickets at lottery retailers, through Online Play on the lottery’s website and on the lottery app.
