BOISE, Idaho ÔÇô For the second time in three days Idaho has recorded a million dollar winning ticket, this time on Mega Millions. The Idaho Lottery has confirmed that one winning ticket matched all five of the first numbers from last night┬┤s $15 million Mega Millions draw and is worth $1 million. That winning ticket was sold at an Idaho Lottery retail location in Franklin County along the Idaho-Utah border in southeastern Idaho. The winning numbers were 07, 22, 27, 41, 49 and the Megaball was 10.
"This is an exciting week for our players. We had a million dollar winner on Powerball Wednesday night and now a million dollar winner on Mega Millions last night," said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director. "Everyone who played Mega Millions for last night┬┤s draw should check their tickets carefully for winners. This ticket, the only one of its kind in the country from last night┬┤s draw, matched only the first five numbers and is worth $1 million."
Including the million dollar winning ticket, there were over 4,800 winning Mega Millions tickets in Idaho from last night┬┤s draw. With no jackpot winner, the estimated jackpot for Tuesday night is now $20 million.
The Idaho Lottery encourages everyone to sign the back of their tickets prior to presenting them for payment.
