Multiple Million-Dollar Lottery Winners Across U.S.

Multiple big lottery prizes were sold across the U.S. this week, including three separate $1 million Powerball second‑prize tickets sold at V & C Taneja (a Yonkers BP/convenience store) and another $1 million Powerball ticket sold at Edison Express in Chesterfield, Missouri. Illinois had a $3 million Mega Millions prize from a ticket sold at Bull Valley Trio in McHenry that matched five white balls and had a 3x multiplier (the retailer will receive a $30,000 bonus). Other wins include a $100,000 Mega Millions ticket (four numbers plus the Mega Ball with a 10x multiplier) sold at Big J 99 in Union City, New Jersey, and a $30,000 Mega Millions ticket sold at a Safeway in Tucson, Arizona. Tuesday’s Mega Millions numbers were 2, 18, 27, 34, 59 with Mega Ball 18, and the Mega Millions jackpot has rolled to an estimated $680 million for the Oct. 24 drawing (cash option about $318.2 million); Powerball’s next drawing is estimated at about $320 million. Winners are urged to sign and safeguard tickets and claim prizes before state deadlines; Missouri prizes unclaimed after 180 days revert to benefit Missouri public education.
