FLORIDA, USA — Someone in Southwest Florida woke up a lot richer Wednesday morning following Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing.
Although the drawing didn't produce a winner of the game's jackpot prize of $306 million, the grand prize now rises to $331 million for the next drawing on Friday. The new millionaire, who matched all five numbers of the balls drawn excluding the Mega Ball, bought their ticket from a 7-Eleven gas station in Bonita Springs, according to the Florida Lottery.
In Tuesday night's CASH4LIFE drawing, however, players weren't as lucky, as no one became a winner of the game's tier one or tier two prize of $1,000 a week for life.
