Mega Millions, one of the most popular lotteries in the United States, is searching for the winner of a $3 million prize (approximately R$ 17 million). The draw took place on November 8, and the winning ticket was sold at the Cumberland Farms store in Southington, Connecticut. So far, the winner has not come forward to claim the millionaire prize.
The lucky ticket matched five main numbers and also hit the Megaplier, a feature that multiplies the prize amount. The lottery administration urges participants to check their tickets and reminds them that the deadline to claim the prize is 180 days from the draw date. If the prize is not claimed within this period, the funds will be redirected to state programs or future lottery draws.
In the meantime, Mega Millions has announced changes to the game format, which will take effect in April 2025. These updates promise increased chances of winning the jackpot, more frequent prizes, and additional features to attract more players. The expectation is that these changes will further boost the lottery's popularity.
Meanwhile, the search for the new millionaire continues. With a limited time to claim the prize, the lottery hopes the winner will step forward before it’s too late, turning a simple ticket into a gateway to a life of luxury.
