Last night’s Mega Millions drawing resulted in a $3 million winning ticket sold in Rhode Island, according to the Rhode Island Lottery.
The Quick Pick ticket matched five out of five numbers to win the standard prize payout of $1 million. However, since the winner purchased the Megaplier feature for an additional dollar, the $1 million prize was multiplied by three, last night’s Megaplier number, to equal $3,000,000.
According to Rhode Island Lottery, the winning ticket was purchased yesterday at Daily Stop Mart, 549 Charles St., Providence, at 6:29 p.m. The $3 million prize has yet to be claimed and Rhode Island Lottery officials look forward to cutting the check and congratulating the winner.
