One person in Connecticut is $1 million richer and they may not even know it yet.
Connecticut Lottery officials said one person matched all five white balls in Tuesday night's drawing. The winning numbers were 25-37-46-48-68 with a Mega Ball of 25 and a Megaplier of 2.
The winning ticket was purchased at Stop & Shop on East Town Road in Milford.
Another ticket from Tuesday night's drawing is a $20,000 winner, according to lottery officials. The ticket matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball and had the Megaplier.
In total, 15,696 tickets won $2 or more in the drawing.
Prizes must be claimed within 180 days. Prizes of $50,000 or more must be claimed at CT Lottery Headquarters, and winners need two valid forms of identification. For more information, visit the CT Lottery website.
The drawing was part of the $475 million Mega Millions jackpot, the seventh largest prize in the lottery game's history. Since nobody won in Tuesday's drawing, the jackpot jumps to at least $530 million for Friday's drawing.
