Million Dollar Winning Mega Millions Ticket Sold In New York

Friday's Mega Million drawing was a very lucky one for lottery players in New York State.

The New York State Lottery announced that there were two "Big Money" winning Mega Million tickets sold in the state including one that won $1 million dollars.

The 2nd place ticket matched all five numbers from Friday's drawing but missed out on the Mega Ball to take home the million-dollar prize.

Another ticket matched four out of five numbers and had the Mega Ball and took home the 3rd place prize of $10,000.

Friday's winning Mega Millions numbers were: 5-17-35-55-69 with a Megaball of 19.

The million-dollar winning ticket was sold at the Stop & Shop on 1831 East Main Street in Peekskill, New York.

No one claimed the grand prize, so the jackpot for Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing is up to $420 million dollars. That would be the 3rd largest jackpot to ever be won by a New York State resident if someone in New York were to win it all.
