Winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Saucier

The Mississippi Lottery says a South Mississippi sales outlet sold a million dollar ticket this weekend.

The Robinwood One Stop on Highway 49 in Saucier sold a ticket that hit all five white ball numbers, but not the Mega ball. The winner has decided to stay anonymous.

She didn’t realize she’d won until she scanned her ticket Sunday

When the lottery first started selling Mega Millions tickets in January of 2020, the winner used Quick Pick to choose her numbers. Since that first purchase, she has played the same numbers for Mega Millions each week.

The lucky player matched all five white ball winning numbers worth $1 million. The winning Mega Millions numbers from Friday night’s drawing were: 3, 16, 25, 44, 55 with a Mega Ball of 13 and a Megaplier of 3.

The player did not purchase the Megaplier. For an additional dollar, she could have tripled her $1 million prize for a total of $3 million.

The winning numbers were  03-16-25-44-55, with a Megaball of 13.
