Mississippi Match 5 makes a Millionaire
Largest jackpot in game’s history claimed in Wednesday night drawing
June 5, 2025 – One lucky Mississippi Lottery player is waking up $1.2 million richer after winning the largest – and first ever seven-figure – Mississippi Match 5 jackpot in the game’s history during Wednesday night’s drawing.
The winning ticket purchased at 69 Mart in Columbus matched all five numbers drawn — 1-3-11-21-34 — to capture the $1.2 million top prize in the 1,005th draw of the game since it launched in April 2021. It was the 52nd draw since the Match 5 jackpot was last won on April 12, for $141,000. This marks a historic win, breaking the previous jackpot record of $905,168 won Feb. 7, 2023, on a ticket purchased from Sprint Mart #4136 in West Point and highlights the growing popularity of Mississippi’s exclusive in-state draw game.
“This is an incredible win for one of our players and a proud moment for the Mississippi Lottery,” said Jeff Hewitt, President of the Mississippi Lottery Corporation. “To see the Match 5 jackpot grow to this level and then be hit is a true testament to the excitement this game brings.”
The winner has 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim the prize.
