Luck was definitely in the air for three brothers from Connecticut who just scored a $2 million Mega Millions prize — talk about a family win!

It all started at the Stop & Shop on Lake Avenue Extension in Danbury, where one of the brothers grabbed a quick-pick ticket for the Oct. 24 drawing. When the numbers 1, 18, 31, 51, and 56 rolled in, they realized every single white ball matched.

Thanks to a 2X multiplier, their original $1 million win instantly doubled to $2 million — not a bad day’s return! Each brother walked away with a cool $666,666 after splitting the prize evenly.

 

Instead of rushing to spend it, the brothers said they plan to invest their winnings — smart move. But they’re not done playing yet! They even bought another ticket, eyeing the next $900 million Mega Millions jackpot coming up Tuesday night.
