HOUSTON — If you bought a Mega Millions ticket in Houston for Tuesday's drawing, you may want to check your numbers!
A ticket bought at All-Season Food on Antoine Drive matched all five numbers without the Mega Ball -- making it worth $1 million.
The winning numbers were 24-46-49-62-66 with Mega Ball 7. No one hit the $893 million jackpot, which now sits just shy of $1 billion. The new jackpot value is estimated at $977 million with an estimated cash value of $461 million.
Mega Millions hasn't had a jackpot winner since December 8, 2023, when two tickets shared a $394 million prize. The odds of winning the jackpot are one in 302,575,350.
