Original Story:
A ticket purchased in Blytheville for last night's Mega Million drawing is worth $1 million, according to the Arkansas Lottery Commission.
The winning player's ticket showed five correct white ball numbers. Since the player purchased a "Megaplier," the prize multiplied to $1 million instead of the usual $250,000.
The winning player has not yet been identified. The winner must bring the ticket to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery's Little Rock Claim Center.
Flash Market #177 on East Main Street in Blytheville sold the $1 million ticket, according to a news release.
No one matched all six Mega Millions numbers Friday evening. Tuesday's jackpot is set for $356 million.
