Some lottery players in Illinois and Indiana woke up much richer on Saturday, thanks to Friday’s trading. Mega Millions Draw.
While no jackpot-winning tickets were sold in the $862 million drawing, an Illinois Lottery player matched five numbers, excluding the Megaball, to win $1 million. The winning $1 million ticket was purchased at the Shell gas station, 10 W. Division St., in Coal City, according to the Illinois Lottery.
It is unclear if the winner has yet come forward to claim the prize, but they have one year to do so.
The Illinois ticket was one of five sold across the United States that won the million-dollar prize, along with two in Indiana, one in Arkansas and one in Pennsylvania.
If you haven’t checked your ticket yet and are hoping to be $1 million richer, here are the winning numbers:
2, 20, 51, 56 and 67, plus Mega Ball 19.
To win the Mega Millions jackpot, a player must match all five numbers and the Megaball, with smaller prizes available for matching some of the game’s numbers. Starting Saturday afternoon, the jackpot amounted to about 944 million dollars, the seventh largest prize in Mega Millions history. If a winner chose the cash option, they would end up with $429.4 million.

The next drawing will take place on Tuesday at 10 pm central time, which coincides with Christmas Eve.
