Somewhere out there is a Mega Millions lottery ticket worth $810 million. The ticket was the only one to match all the digits in last Tuesday’s September 10 draw. Those lucky digits are 1,2,16,24,66, and the golden Mega Ball is 6. The winning ticket was bought at a gas station and convenience store about 20 miles from Houston in Sugar Land, Texas.
However, we may never know who purchased this big money quick pick ticket. That’s because in Texas, the winner or winners of a lottery jackpot of over $1 million can keep their identity a secret. More than a dozen other states in the U.S. allow ticketholders to claim their prizes anonymously. Oh, The Texas ticket is the seventh largest jackpot winner in the game’s history.
Meanwhile, the latest Mega Millions jackpot is around $20 million. It’s the major prize in tonight’s draw. Yes, on Friday the 13th, someone could get lucky and win the jackpot.
