PHOENIX – An Arizona lottery player connected for a $1 million payout in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing, officials announced.
The seven-figure ticket was purchased at the Bashas’ supermarket at 105 Main St. in Bagdad, a rural community in Yavapai County about 120 miles northwest of Phoenix.
The entry matched all five white numbers drawn — 26, 28, 36, 63 and 66 – but missed the gold Mega Ball of 15.
