$10,000 Mega Millions Prize Won in Connecticut; Jackpot Soars to $320 Million

Connecticut Lottery enthusiasts were buzzing with excitement as news broke that a player had won a $10,000 prize in Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing. While the jackpot remained unclaimed, the fortunate individual's ticket matched four numbers and the Mega Ball, earning them a significant reward.

The winning numbers for the Mega Millions drawing were 6, 37, 39, 45, 46, and the Mega Ball was 21. Although details about where the winning ticket was sold were not available at the time of reporting, the news spread throughout the state, igniting the hopes of other lottery players who dream of striking it big.

Tuesday night's drawing did not produce a jackpot winner, leading to an impressive increase in the estimated prize for the upcoming Friday night drawing. The projected jackpot now stands at a staggering $320 million, with a cash option of $167.7 million. This enticing amount promises a life-changing opportunity for the lucky individual who manages to match all the winning numbers.

It's worth noting that the largest Mega Millions jackpot in history reached an astounding $1.537 billion. This record-breaking sum was awarded to a single winning ticket sold in South Carolina during the October 2018 drawing.
