Sacramento Lottery Ticket Hits 5 of 6, Worth $132,053
SACRAMENTO – Had the California Lottery player matched just one more number the $1 ticket purchased would have been worth $102 million. The near-hit, however, is certainly worth taking note of as getting five of the six numbers correct in last night’s MEGA Millions lottery draw is worth $132,053.
Two such tickets exist in California. One was purchased in Fair Oaks at
the 7-Eleven at 8500 Madison Avenue. The other was purchased in San Mateo.
While the MEGA Millions top jackpot now climbs to $122 million, thousands of other prizes were awarded last night. In all, more than 100,000 Californians won more than $800,000 (http://www.calottery.com/Games/MegaMillions/WinningNumbers/).
The California Lottery reminds winners to sign the back of their tickets, keep tickets in a safe place and contact Lottery officials or visit your local Lottery District Office (http://www.calottery.com/AboutUs/Locations) as soon as possible. Winners have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim prizes.
The next MEGA Millions draw is Friday night.
More than 95 cents of every Lottery dollar is returned to the community in the form of contributions to education, prizes and retail commissions. The California Lottery contributes at least 34 cents of every dollar that players spend on Lottery products to public education and returns more than 50 percent of sales to players in the form of prizes. Since its inception in 1985, the Lottery has contributed more than $20 billion to California schools out of total sales of nearly $55 billion. Retailers benefit too, earning $3.5 billion in compensation since 1985.
