Mega Millions Ticket Worth $1 Million Sold In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Check your tickets!

One Mega Millions ticket worth $1 million from the Tuesday, Dec. 30 drawing was sold at the Rite Aid pharmacy at 1924 Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.

The Lottery says the winning ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 03-07-44-63-67, but not the yellow Mega Ball 12, to win a $1 million prize, less 25 percent federal withholding.

The retailer will also receive a $5,000 bonus for selling this winning ticket.

The Lottery says this $1 million prize must be claimed and the ticket validated before the winner can be identified. Pennsylvania Lottery Mega Millions winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery's seven area offices.

The Mega Millions jackpot grew to an estimated annuity value of $188 million, or $119.2 million cash, for the Friday, Jan. 2, 2015, drawing.
