$900,000-plus Mega Millions lottery ticket sold at Burbank liquor store
BURBANK, Calif. - A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, in Tuesday's drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery was sold at a liquor store in Burbank.
The ticket is worth $926,572, the California Lottery announced.
California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.
There were eight other tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, including two sold in Florida. One of those tickets was worth $2 million because the player utilized the Megaplier option, where for an additional $1 any non-jackpot prize will be multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn.
The other ticket was worth $1 million, as were the tickets with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, sold in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Texas and Washington state.
