Mega Millions ticket from West Valley gas station hits for $20,000

A Phoenix-area gas station sold a lottery ticket worth $20,000 in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing.

The five-figure ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven on the northeast corner of Estrella Parkway and Roosevelt Street, just south of Interstate 10 in Goodyear.

It matched four of the five white numbers – 12, 22, 50, 51 and 55 – plus the gold Mega Ball of 10. The entry had a multiplier of two, doubling the $10,000 base prize.

The odds of matching that combination are one in over 893,000.

What is the jackpot for the next Mega Millions drawing?

Mega Millions is a multistate lottery with drawings every Tuesday and Friday night. Tickets cost $5, and each entry comes with a randomly chosen multiplier that boosts non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five or 10 times.

The jackpot went unclaimed Tuesday and will be an estimated $215 million for Friday’s drawing.

Arizona Lottery winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.
