SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP/WHDH) — One lucky person in California won the Mega Millions lottery but two people who bought tickets in Massachusetts are also walking away as millionaires.
The state lottery’s verified Twitter feed says the winning ticket — worth more than $500 million — was sold at Ernie’s Liquors in San Jose, California. The name of the winner wasn’t immediately known.
In Massachusetts, a $3 million ticket was sold at Lanzilli’s Grocery in East Boston and a $1 million ticket was purchased at Lee’s Supermarket in Brighton.
Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery game and one of two big jackpot games in the United States. Its website says the San Jose ticket is the sole winning ticket. The jackpot was up to a whopping $522 million.
The winning numbers were 1, 2, 4, 19, 29 and 20.
The biggest-ever Mega Millions jackpot — $656 million — was won in March 2012. It was shared by winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.
