South Philly Mega Millions player wins $2M

Someone in Philadelphia bought a Mega Millions ticket that's now worth $2 million after the game's most recent drawing.

A ticket sold at a South Philadelphia newsstand matched all five white balls drawn Friday (4, 14, 29, 31 and 47) but missed the Mega Ball of 9. The ticket was bought with the Megaplier option, making it worth $2 million, Pennsylvania Lottery officials said.

The ticket was purchased at Shayona Newsstand at 2303 S. Broad St., which will receive a $10,000 bonus.

Tickets sold in Georgia and Michigan also matched the five white balls, but without the Megaplier, to win $1 million each.

But no one hit the $47 million jackpot, which now rolls over to $55 million, or $35 million for the cash option, for Tuesday's drawing.
