Mega Millions ticket sold in Deltaville becomes the only $1 million winner nationwide
Deltaville, Virginia – A lucky ticket purchased for Friday night’s Mega Millions drawing is now worth $1 million. The ticket, sold at the 7-Eleven at 16624 General Puller Highway in Deltaville, matched the first five winning numbers but missed the Mega Ball.
The winning numbers for the November 22 drawing were 13, 20, 26, 32, and 65, with the Mega Ball being 2. This ticket is the only one nationwide to match the first five numbers in this drawing. However, no ticket matched all six numbers, leaving the jackpot unclaimed. As a result, the jackpot for the next drawing, on Tuesday, November 26, has grown to an estimated $489 million.
