Tuesday drawings: Mega Millions reaches an est. $259 million; Mississippi Match 5 grows to an est. $474,000

JACKSON, MISS. – One lucky Mississippi Lottery player from Biloxi claimed $50,000 from the Saturday, Nov. 12, drawing of Powerball^®.

The Biloxi man said he enjoys playing Powerball and has played the same numbers since the 1980s. He purchased his winning ticket from Bridges Quickie #1 on Hwy. 469 S. in Florence. The player matched four out of five white balls and the Powerball.

However, he did not purchase the Powerplay option, which was 4. Adding the $1 Powerplay would have increased his win to $200,000.
