In Bel Air, Maryland, an unnamed individual stumbled upon fortune with a $1 million Mega Millions ticket. According to WMAR-2 News, the fortunate draw happened yesterday, and it seems the stars—or perhaps the numbers—aligned at a local Wawa convenience store located at 709 Belair Road.
Now, the Mega Millions mania swells further still, for the jackpot stands at an immense $670 million. The anticipation is palpable for the next drawing, set bizarrely on the typically ominous Friday the 13th. For one or several, this date could flip the script on luck, according to WBAL-TV. This fortunate ticket, bought in Bel Air, becomes Maryland's second million-dollar winner in the current lottery jackpot roll, following the first winner from Anne Arundel County in October.
The Bel Air winner has not yet claimed their prize, with 182 days from the drawing date to come forward. Their identity remains unknown, and their life may soon change dramatically. Meanwhile, the Wawa that sold the ticket has already won a $2,500 bonus for its role in the lucky sale.
