Local woman purchases million-dollar lottery ticket from Robinwood One Stop in Saucier

One Mississippi woman is one million dollars richer after playing the Mega Millions.

The winning ticket was bought from Robinwood One Stop in Saucier. Store workers recall the winner playing the same numbers week after week.

The lucky player matched all five white ball winning numbers worth $1 million.

The winning numbers from Friday night’s drawing were: 3, 16, 25, 44, 55 with a Mega Ball of 13.

The player did not purchase the Megaplier for an additional dollar which could have tripled her prize for a total of $3 million. Robinwood One Stop Comptroller Samantha Belsome said, “We were notified by our lottery rep this morning and then the lottery commission called us after that to let us know that we sold the big ticket. The most exciting thing about it is the lady is from Harrison County. We’re very grateful for that and we’re hoping that she’ll invest back into her community as well. It’s always nice to see a local person win something like that.”

The store will receive $5,000 for selling the winning ticket.
