Mega Millions player wins $3 million prize. Where in the US was the ticket sold?

A Mega Millions player bought a winning ticket in Michigan, but was just one number short of winning the $72 million grand prize, lottery officials said.

The player’s ticket had five lucky numbers picked in the latest drawing on Friday, April 11, according to officials, but not the correct Mega Ball number. The winning numbers were 15, 37, 38, 56, 58 and a Mega Ball of 19.

The player added a 3X multiplier to their ticket, which brought their prize to $3 million.

Nobody won the grand prize, which has increased to an estimated $96 million, with a cash option of approximately $42.2 million, officials said. Players will have another chance to win on the next drawing on Tuesday, April 15.

Nearly 216,000 other winning Mega Millions tickets were sold, with prizes ranging from $10 to $5,000.

March 25 was the last time someone won the Mega Millions grand prize, which was valued at $349 million, officials said.
