Some lucky Mega Millions players -- including two who bought their tickets in Maryland and Virginia -- have tickets worth $1 million in their possession.
Tickets in Maryland, Virginia and Texas matched five of the winning numbers in Tuesday night's drawing. The numbers were 25, 29, 33, 41 and 44. Those tickets are each worth $1 million.
The odds of winning the $1 million prize in Mega Millions are about 1 in 12 million, the Virginia Lottery said.
The winning Maryland ticket was purchased at High’s located at 4101 Norrisville Road in White Hall, in Harford County. The store will receive a $2,500 bonus for selling the ticket, according to the Maryland Lottery.
