Friday’s Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs Toward Half a Billion
JACKSON, MISS. – From coast to coast, Mississippi is winning big: a $460,000 Mississippi Match 5 jackpot ticket was hit in Long Beach Wednesday night, and now eyes are on Friday’s Mega Millions drawing worth an estimated $474 million with an estimated cash value of $219.4 million.
A ticket purchased at Keith’s Superstore #108 in Long Beach matched all five numbers – 6-10-27-33-35 – to win the $460,000 Match 5 jackpot.
While one jackpot has been claimed, another is growing fast. The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday, September 26, is an estimated $474 million, with an estimated cash value of $219.4 million.
Mississippi has seen big draw game winners over the last month during the record-breaking billion-dollar Powerball run. That run also included one player who won $2,000,000 on a Mega Millions ticket purchased at Pilot Travel Center in Moss Point. This prize has yet to be claimed.
