Another $10,000 Mega Millions® Winner in Rhode Island

April 20th was the second Friday in a row where the Mega Millions® drawing resulted in a $10,000 winning ticket sold in Rhode Island.  The ticket matched four numbers and the Mega Ball number.  The standard payout for this type of win is $10,000.  The winner did not purchase the Megaplier® feature for an additional dollar on the wager.  If the player had opted for the Megaplier®, the $10,000 prize would have been multiplied by three, Friday’s Megaplier® number, to equal $30,000.

Friday's winning ticket was purchased from Stop & Shop at 446 Putnam Pike, Smithfield.  The $10,000 prize has yet to be claimed.

Tomorrow's estimated Mega Millions® jackpot is $65 million.
