A Mega Millions ticket sold at the Scarlet Pearl Casino and Resort in D’Iberville is worth $1 million, after the player matched all five numbers in the Tuesday night drawing. The player was only one number away from winning the estimated $257 million jackpot, by missing the Mega Ball number of 5.

The Tuesday winning numbers were 10-18-27-37-61, with a Mega Ball of 5, and Megaplier of 3. If the player had spent an additional $1 on the Megaplier option, he or she would have tripled the prize to $3 million.

Selling a winning ticket worth $1 million or more qualifies the Scarlet Pearl Casino and Resort to receive $5,000 selling bonus from the Mississippi Lottery.

In the meantime, the winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a secure location. The lottery also recommends the winner consult with legal and financial advisors. The winner has 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize, which must be done in person at Mississippi Lottery headquarters in Flowood.

The jackpot for Friday’s Mega Millions is up to an estimated $284 million, with an estimated cash value of $127.6 million.
