MOUNT HOLLY, N.C. — A Mega Millions ticket purchased in North Carolina has yielded a $1 million prize, according to the North Carolina Education Lottery.
Lottery officials said the $2 ticket was purchased from the Food Lion on Highland Street in Mount Holly.
The $1 million prize was one of three won nationally in Friday’s drawing, with the other two wins occurring in California. A $3 Mega Millions ticket sold in South Carolina also won $2 million.
All winners have 180 days to claim their prizes.
Lottery officials said since no one won Friday’s jackpot, the new jackpot for Tuesday’s drawing will climb to $640 million.
The $640 million jackpot ranks as the 7th largest in Mega Millions history.
