Million-dollar Mega Millions ticket sold in Delco as jackpot climbs to $522 million

No one hit the jackpot in the last Mega Millions drawing, but a $1 million ticket was sold in Delaware County.

The pre-tax jackpot for Tuesday's night Mega Millions drawing in the meantime rose Tuesday to an estimated $522 million annuity value, or a $303.4 million cash prize — the fifth-largest top prize in the game's history.

The Pennsylvania Lottery said a $1 million ticket was sold at the Giant Food Store located at 3400 Concord Road in Aston for Friday's Mega Millions game. The ticket matched all five white balls drawn (01-14-30-44-62) but not the Mega Ball, 01.

For your planning purposes, the winner of the $522 million jackpot, if it is not shared, will receive $13 million a year for 30 years after 25 percent is deducted for federal taxes. State taxes also may be due. A winner taking the $303.4 lump cash prize would receive $231 million immediately after federal taxes are taken out. State taxes also may be due.

The Pennsylvania Lottery also reported that a Powerball ticket worth $100,000 due to the Power Play option was sold at the Amoco at 1850 Christopher Columbus Blvd. in Philadelphia, for Saturday's drawing.

The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn (09-23-56-58-68) and the Powerball of 01. Without $1 Power Play, the ticket would have been worth $50,000.

The jackpot for Wednesday's Powerball drawing has an estimated annuity value of $147 million, or $89.1 million cash, before taxes.
