Lottery Ticket Worth $3 Million in Herndon

The Mega Millions ticket matched the first five numbers, but missed the Mega Ball, according to Virginia Lottery officials.

Check your tickets, Mega Millions players. A Herndon lottery ticket sold for Friday's drawing is worth $3 million. The ticket was bought at Elden Market & Deli at 1141 Elden St.

The winning numbers for Friday’s drawing were 7-20-40-54-69 and the Mega Ball number was 12. This ticket matched the first five numbers and missed only the Mega Ball number, according to Virginia Lottery officials. 

Normally that would win $1 million. But whoever bought this ticket spent an extra dollar for the Megaplier when he or she bought the ticket, according to a lottery release. That tripled the prize to $3 million.
