Mega Millions ticket sold in Philly wins $2M as jackpot grows to $449M; Glouco Pick-6 ticket wins $8.3M

A Mega Millions ticket sold in Philadelphia won $2 million over the weekend as the jackpot – the game's third-highest of all time – continues to climb.

Other big local lottery wins in recent days include an $8.3 million New Jersey Lottery Pick-6 jackpot won by a Gloucester County ticket and a Chester County ticket that split an $800,000 jackpot in a Pennsylvania Cash 5 drawing.

The lucky Philadelphia Mega Millions ticket matched all five white balls drawn Friday (20, 41, 42, 45 and 49) but missed the Mega Ball of 14, falling short of the $415 million jackpot. The ticket was purchased with the megaplier option, making it worth $2 million.

It was sold at Yorty's Deli, located at 5932 Torresdale Ave., lottery officials said. The retailer gets a $10,000 bonus.

No one won the top prize, pushing the jackpot to $449 million, or $313 million cash, for Tuesday's drawing.

The jackpot, the game's third-largest ever, has been rising since it was last hit on March 8.

The only two bigger jackpots have been the $648 million pot shared by two tickets that won the Dec. 17, 2013, drawing, and the $656 million split by three tickets on March 30, 2012.

In Friday's game, a ticket sold in Oklahoma also won $2 million, while Massachusetts and New York tickets won $1 million each.

The jackpot in Powerball, the other major multi-state lottery game, is also rising after no one won this weekend.

The top prize for Wednesday's drawing stands at $257 million for the annuity, or $179.7 million cash.
