Mega millions shocker as pennsylvania ticket hits $2m — US dollars bundle close up isolated on dollar background. Paper denominations of dollars cash rolls with rubber bands. Business budget of wealth and prosperity finance. Pile capital of American US dollars bills notes cash

MIDLAND, PA – April 1 was no joke for one Pennsylvania Lottery player who won $2 million in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions® drawing after purchasing a Megaplier® ticket in Beaver County.

The winning ticket, sold at Midland Beer Distributor at 233 Midland Avenue in Midland, matched all five white balls — 11, 12, 21, 29, and 49 — but missed the yellow Mega Ball, which was 3. The ticket would have been worth $1 million, but the additional $1 Megaplier® purchase doubled the prize to $2 million.

For selling the winning ticket, Midland Beer Distributor will receive a $10,000 bonus.

Megaplier® is a feature that multiplies non-jackpot winnings by up to five times, depending on the number drawn. In this drawing, the multiplier was 2x.

More than 18,500 Pennsylvania Lottery Mega Millions® tickets won prizes in the April 1 drawing, including over 4,200 with the Megaplier® option.

Winners have one year from the date of the drawing to claim prizes. Tickets purchased in-store must be signed immediately and validated to claim.
