Someone who bought a Mega Millions® ticket at a West Burlington convenience store won a $1 million prize in last night’s drawing. Iowa’s win hits during a very busy week for Mega Millions news: There also were back-to-back jackpot winners in the game.
The $1 million-winning ticket was purchased at MK Mini Mart, 101 E. Mount Pleasant St. in West Burlington. That ticket came within one number of having a share of last night’s $20 million jackpot, matching the first five numbers but missing the Mega Ball. A ticket sold in Tennessee matched all six numbers in last night’s drawing to win the $20 million jackpot.
And the Tennessee win follows a $110 million jackpot winner in Minnesota in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing.
Last night’s winning numbers were: 4-17-20-46-64 and Mega Ball 23. The Megaplier was 4. With the jackpot being won in Tennessee, the game’s big prize stays at an estimated $20 million annuity, $11.9 million lump-sum option, for the next Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday.
The West Burlington prize is the second of at least $1 million won this year in Iowa. In January, a New Hampton couple won a $2 million Powerball® prize.
MK Mini Mart will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $1 million-winning Mega Millions ticket.
The $1 million prize needs to be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. Lottery offices are open Monday through Friday and prize claims are available by appointment. Winners can call the lottery at 515-725-7900 to make an appointment.
