VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — No one won Tuesday night's Mega Millions jackpot, but somebody who bought a lottery ticket in Virginia Beach is waking up $10,000 richer.
The Virginia Lottery said there were four tickets sold in Virginia that each won $10,000. The Virginia Beach winning ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven located at 2256 Red Tide Road.
Tuesday’s winning numbers were 7-29-60-63-66, and the Mega Ball number was 15. Nine tickets across the country matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball for at least a $1 million prize, but nobody matched all six.
The other three $10,000 winning tickets in Virginia were sold at:
- Giant Food, 10346 Courthouse Road in Spotsylvania
- 7-Eleven, 13821 Heathcote Blvd. in Gainesville
- Ashley’s Market, 6445 Rockfish Valley Highway in Afton
With no tickets matching all six winning numbers, the estimated jackpot for the Friday, July 29 drawing has grown to $1.025 billion!
Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday nights at 11 p.m. and the odds of matching all six numbers to win the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350. The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24, with prizes beginning at $2 and increasing all the way to the jackpot.
In Mega Millions' 20-year history there have only ever been two other billion-dollar jackpots. The world record for a jackpot remains $1.586 billion, which was a Powerball prize awarded in 2016.
