Mega Millions ticket purchased from West Valley pharmacy hits for $5 million

PHOENIX – A Mega Millions ticket sold in the West Valley won a whopping $5 million prize in Tuesday night’s drawing, Arizona Lottery officials announced.

The golden ticket was purchased at the CVS pharmacy on the southeast corner of Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Road in Peoria.

It matched all five white balls — 10, 13, 40, 42 and 46 – but missed the gold Mega Ball of 1.

Mega Millions entries cost $5 each and automatically include a randomly generated multiplier of two, three, four, five or 10 times.

The Peoria ticket had a multiplier of five to pump up the $1 million base prize.

How large is the Mega Millions jackpot?

Meanwhile, the jackpot went unclaimed and will increase to an estimated $965 million for the next drawing on Friday.

If won, it would be the eighth-largest jackpot in the game’s history.

There were four Mega Millions jackpot wins earlier this year, including one for $112 million on a ticket sold in Tempe.
