Mega Millions ticket bought in Bronx wins $1 million, Illinois ticket wins $1.33 billion jackpot
NEW YORK -- There's a grand prize winner in Friday's $1.33 billion Mega Millions drawing, and a $1 million ticket was sold in the Bronx.
The winning numbers are: 13-36-45-57-67, Mega Ball: 14.
The jackpot-winning ticket was sold at a Speedway Gas Station in Des Plaines, Illinois, outside of Chicago. It matched all the winning numbers, plus the Mega Ball.
The jackpot grew from $1.28 billion to just over $1.33 billion late Friday night.
Lottery officials said Saturday afternoon that the winner has not come forward yet.
"We have not heard from the winner yet. We don't know whether or not they even know that they won a prize, so I encourage everybody to check your ticket," said Harold Mays, Illinois Director of the Lottery. "The winner has 12 months from the date of the drawing to claim their prize."
This is the nation's third-largest jackpot prize ever. The cash payout option is about $747 million.
The store where the ticket was sold gets a cash bonus of $500,000.
Meanwhile, someone in the Tri-State Area won a second prize.
Lottery officials say a ticket worth $1 million was sold in the Bronx at New Way Deli and Lottery on Kingsbridge Road in Fordham Manor.
That winner matched the first five numbers and only missed the Mega Ball.
