A Manassas, Virginia, man was one number away from hitting a Mega Millions jackpot worth some $131 million; instead he had to settle for $1 million.
Not too shabby. Malcolm Meredith purchased the ticket at a Harris Teeter, and he let the computer select the numbers on his ticket.
He showed someone his Mega Millions ticket from the May 20 drawing, and he was informed that he didn’t have the winning ticket.
He decided to keep his ticket and checked it again a few weeks later. It was then that Meredith found out the ticket was a winner, but he didn’t how much he won.
So, he took it to the Virginia Lottery’s Northern Virginia Customer Service Center in Woodbridge.
That’s where Meredith found out he won $1 million.
