Mega Millions jackpot now more than $1 billion; $10k ticket sold in Afton

Crystal Graham

mega millions jackpot More than 188,000 tickets bought in Virginia won prizes in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing. That includes four Virginia tickets that each won $10,000.

However, no ticket in Virginia or elsewhere matched all six winning numbers to claim the jackpot. That means the estimated jackpot for the Friday, July 29, drawing grows to $1.025 billion dollars.

The four tickets that won $10,000 matched four of the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball number.

The winning Virginia tickets were bought at:

  • Giant Food, 10346 Courthouse Road, Spotsylvania
  • 7-Eleven, 13821 Heathcote Blvd., Gainesville
  • 7-Eleven, 2256 Red Tide Road, Virginia Beach
  • Ashley’s Market, 6445 Rockfish Valley Highway, Afton

Tuesday’s winning numbers were 7-29-60-63-66, and the Mega Ball number was 15.

Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday nights.
