PINEVILLE, N.C. — One lucky person in Pineville became a millionaire after matching five white balls in Friday night’s Mega Millions drawing, officials announced on Wednesday.

The winning ticket was bought at the 7-Eleven on South Polk Street in Pineville. The winner matched all five balls.

No one won the overall jackpot.

“Once again we see that even if you don’t win the jackpot, great prizes can still be won playing Mega Millions,” said Mark Michalko, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery. “Make sure to always check your tickets carefully after each drawing since there are nine different ways to win.”

Four other winners won $10,000 across the state.

The winner has yet to come forward.
