Plano man turns in $1 million winning ticket

MegaMillions logoDenny Elliott of Plano claimed a second-tier Mega Millions prize worth $1 million. The ticket was purchased at the Quiktrip #892 located at 1100 E. Spring Creek Parkway in Plano for the Feb. 23 drawing.

Elliott’s Quick Pick matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn (16-32-39-53-57), but not the Mega Ball number (10). The claimant requested minimum publicity.

Mega Millions is played by picking five different numbers from one to 75 and one number from one to 15. To win the Mega Millions jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn including the Mega Ball. Players matching fewer numbers may not win the jackpot, but still walk away big winners. By choosing the Megaplier for $1 more per play, players can multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four or five times, winning as much as $5 million.
