OK, so it’s not the $400 mllion-plus someone on Long Island just won, but someone in Northwestern Pennsylvania will probably be pretty happy, anyway.
The GetGo at 6400 Peach St. in Erie sold a ticket that matched all five white balls — 34-44-57-62-70 — and the $1 megaplier, netting the owner of the ticket $4 million. The gas station will receive a $10,000 for selling the ticket.
A single ticket sold on Long Island won the estimated $437 million Mega Millions jackpot, matching all five numbers plus the Mega Ball, 14. The cash payout of the jackpot is an estimated $261.8 million.
Over 92,900 other Pennsylvania players won prizes of varying amounts, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.
The Mega Millions jackpot is reset to $40 million for Friday night’s drawing.
