Louisiana Lottery Confirms $1 Million Winner in Mega Millions Drawing on Tuesday

Someone in Louisiana is waking up $1 million richer after hitting it big on the Mega Millions drawing last night.

While no one won the jackpot, eight people across the country fell one number short and cashed in at least a cool million. One of those winners had the multiplier, cashing in $5 million on their ticket.

The jackpot for the Tuesday, September 24th Mega Millions drawing was $62 million with a $30.8 cash option.

To score the jackpot, you would need all five white balls and the yellow Mega Ball. The aforementioned $1 million winners matched the five white balls but missed out on the yellow Mega Ball.

The winning numbers were: 1 - 6 - 10 - 23 - 27 - 18 (Mega Ball)

The big winners came from Louisiana, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Michigan. The latter had the Megaplier on, thus the $5 million prize.

Where was the $1 million winning Mega Millions ticket bought in Louisiana?

According to the Louisiana Lottery website, the $1 million Mega Millions winning ticket was purchased in Shreveport at Circle K #8179, located at 7702 Pines Road.

Someone in Lafayette won $10,000

That winning ticket was sold at Shop Rite #78, located at 3555 North University Avenue in Lafayette.
