The Missouri Lottery is urging Mega Millions players to check their tickets from the drawing on Tuesday, March 12.
A news release says one ticket sold in the state matched all five white-ball numbers- plus the Mega Ball number drawn- to win the $50 million jackpot prize. The numbers drawn were: 10, 12, 16, 49 and 57; and the Mega Ball was 18.
An additional Missouri player matched four white-ball numbers and the Mega Ball to win a base prize of $10,000. Because the player also played the Megaplier option- and the Megaplier number drawn was 4- the prize will be multiplied to $40,000.
Per Lottery policy, information regarding the name and location of the retailer that sold the winning jackpot ticket will be made within 72 hours or after the winner has come forward and completed the claiming process, whichever occurs first.
