The official Mega Millions lottery jackpot has risen to a life changing $31 million with an estimated cash value option of $19 million.
The official Mega Millions lottery website is reporting on one the recent big money winners, writing:
“September 22, 2015 - The search is over for Maryland’s newest millionaire! A U.S. Army retiree and veteran of the Korean War stepped into the Maryland Lottery Winner’s Lounge on Tuesday, with his family in tow, after claiming the $1 million Mega Millions prize from the Sept. 18 drawing.
“Only three players in the country matched five of the winning numbers in the Friday drawing to capture the second-tier prize. The other two players are in California and New Jersey. This is the second $1 million winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Maryland in 2015.
“Our winner is a Baltimore County man who encountered his lucky ticket during a routine trip to the Giant supermarket in Owings Mills. The 73-year-old normally stops at the ATM for cash and continues to shop. He doesn’t always play Maryland Lottery games, he said, but when he does, this great-grandfather plays big!”
