HOUSTON — Someone who bought a lottery ticket in Houston is waking up $3 million richer Saturday morning.
A Mega Millions ticket sold at Polar Express #3 on Blalock Road in northwest Houston matched all five numbers but did not match the Mega Ball. The purchaser opted for the Megaplier bonus, bringing the winnings up from $1 million to $3 million.
The winning numbers for Friday night's drawing are 46-54-56-67-70 with a Mega Ball of 16.
No one hit the jackpot, which has now grown to an estimated $489 million. The estimated cash value of the jackpot is $226.4 million.
Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. Eastern.
