Had the player spent the additional $1 on the Megaplier option, they would have tripled their prize to $3 million.

Starting in mid-May, the Mississippi Lottery returns with the ever-popular 2024 Summer of Fun promotion.

The jackpot is either an annuitized prize, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump sum payment.

The Education Enhancement Fund for the Fiscal Year has received a total of $16,836,487.71.

The Second Chance promotional drawing included eight eligible scratch-off games.

The sixth-largest Mega Millions jackpot in the game’s history. The jackpot was last hit Dec. 8 for $394 million.

The player purchased the ticket from Robin Food Mart in McComb.

The player matched all five numbers and purchased the ticket from Suds N Smokes in Vicksburg.

The shocked player said she kept the ticket with her all weekend, too nervous to leave it home.
