The latest Mega Millions drawing comes after a player from Virginia claimed a $1 million winning ticket.
Vanessa Hernandez Lopez’s boyfriend purchased the ticket at a 7-Eleven in Timberville for the May 10 drawing and gave it to her.
The couple checked the ticket at a different store and were unaware of how much the prize was worth until they claimed it at the Virginia Lottery’s customer service center in Harrisonburg.
Hernandez Lopez revealed she was “excited” by the big win but had no immediate plans for the money.

Those who opt for the annuity receive one immediate payment, followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
Mega Millions can be played in 45 states as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
