Congratulations to Thorndale Inn, 430 Bondsville Road, Downingtown, Chester County, which earned a $10,000 bonus for selling the $5 million-winning Mega Millions® with Megaplier® ticket.
 
Meanwhile, Smethport, 18265 Route 6, Smethport, McKean County, sold the $1 million-winning Mega Millions® ticket and earned a $5,000 bonus.
 
The $5 million-winning Mega Millions® with Megaplier® ticket matched all five white balls drawn, 5-10-28-52-63, but not the yellow Mega Ball 18, to win $5 million, less applicable withholding. Without the $1 Megaplier® option, the ticket would have been worth $1 million. The Megaplier® drawn was five.
 
The $1 million-winning Mega Millions® ticket matched all five white balls drawn to win $1 million, less applicable withholding.
 
Megaplier® is an optional feature that, for an additional $1 per play, gives players a chance to increase the value of any non-jackpot prize winnings by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x. Any non-jackpot prize won on a Mega Millions® play is multiplied by the Megaplier® number drawn if the player purchased the Megaplier® feature. Pennsylvania’s $5 million-winning Mega Millions® with Megaplier® ticket is the first-ever $5 million second-tier prize won at the $1 billion jackpot run level. 
 
Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Mega Millions® winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. Winning tickets purchased at a Lottery retailer should immediately be signed on the back. Online winnings automatically appear in a player’s account after the claim has been processed. Players may visit palottery.com for more information about how to file a claim.
 
More than 162,200 other PA Lottery Mega Millions® tickets won prizes of various amounts in the drawing, including more than 36,300 tickets purchased with Megaplier®. Players should check every ticket, every time.
 
In Pennsylvania, the recent jackpot run has generated more than $63.4 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $25.4 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.
 
The current estimated Mega Millions® jackpot of $1.05 billion ($527.9 million cash value) ranks as the seventh-largest U.S. lottery jackpot and fourth-largest Mega Millions® jackpot to date. The jackpot has been rolling since it was last won in New York state on April 18. The next Mega Millions® drawing will be held Tuesday, August 1.
 
Mega Millions® is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Visit palottery.com for details on how to play.
