Mega Millions $250,000 Winning Ticket Sold in Baltimore
Tuesday Night’s Jackpot Reaches $166 Million


(Baltimore) – A few Maryland Lottery players woke up a little bit happier this morning.  That’s because Friday night’s Mega Millions drawing produced one $250,000 second-tier winner and four $10,000 third-tier winners in
Maryland.  The winning numbers were 16, 31, 43, 46, 56 and Mega Ball 22.  The $250,000 winning ticket was sold at F & N Crown, located at 1521 Merritt Blvd. in Baltimore. Winners have 182 days to claim their prizes.

There was no jackpot winner, making tomorrow night’s drawing worth $166 million.  The most recent Mega Millions winners bring the total to 14 second-tier winners and 79 third-tier winners in
Maryland since January.  Recent Mega Millions jackpot winners in Maryland include Bunky Bartlett from Dundalk, who split a $330 million jackpot with three others on August 31st, and a 78-year-old Essex woman and her daughter winning $27 million on September 5th.

The multi-state Mega Millions game is played in 12 states, including Maryland, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Virginia, Washington, Texas and California. Mega Millions drawings can be seen on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 11:22 p.m. on WBAL-TV, Channel 11 and at 11:30 p.m. on Maryland Public Television.
