Mega Millions Drawing: A stroke of luck has turned one North Texan into a multi-millionaire, as a $3 million Mega Millions prize-winning ticket was sold at El Rio Grande Latin Market in Fort Worth. Located at 3037 South Freeway, this market is now a memorable spot for one very fortunate lottery player.

The winning numbers from Friday night’s drawing on November 8 were 25, 28, 42, 64, 69, with the Mega Ball 19 and a Megaplier of 3. Thanks to opting in for the $1 Megaplier, the ticket holder tripled their $1 million prize to $3 million. The Texas Lottery confirmed the win and noted that the player purchased a Quick Pick ticket, adding an extra layer of excitement for the lucky buyer.

While the $361 million jackpot remains unclaimed, with no player matching all six numbers, anticipation is building for the next Mega Millions drawing, scheduled for Tuesday, November 12. The estimated annuitized jackpot stands at a life-changing $361 million or a lump-sum cash value of $169.2 million.

Texas has seen its fair share of lottery success. Just last year, a remarkable $95 million Texas Lotto jackpot was won when a group in Colleyville invested heavily to buy every possible combination. Under Texas lottery rules, the identity of high-stakes winners can remain private, making it even more intriguing.

For anyone feeling inspired, the lottery’s allure continues. As the Powerball jackpot also rises to $92 million, hopefuls should have their tickets ready for the drawing on Saturday night, November 9. If fortune favors you, a trip to your local convenience store might just change your life.
