BOISE, Idaho ÔÇô For the third time in as many weeks, luck has struck Idaho again this time with a $1,000,000 winning Mega Millions ticket. The Idaho Lottery has confirmed that one ticket for last night's Mega Millions draw matched all five of the first numbers, but not the Megaball, and has the Megaplier option which makes it an automatic $1,000,000 winner. The winning numbers from last night's Mega Millions draw were 28, 30, 31, 37, 55 and the Megaball was 13.

"Luck Happens in Idaho!" said Idaho Lottery Director, Jeff Anderson. "We remind all of our players who had a Mega Millions ticket for last night's draw to check their tickets carefully for winners. There┬┤s a million dollar winning ticket out there."

The Idaho Lottery has also confirmed the winning $1,000,000 ticket for last night's draw was sold in Kootenai County in northern Idaho. This is the sixth "Match 5" winner on Mega Millions since the game began in February of 2010 and the fourth for northern Idaho. Last night's winner makes the second $1,000,000 winning ticket on Mega Millions sold in Kootenai County. In addition, the Coeur d'Alene area had two $250,000 winners last fall and one jackpot winner last January ÔÇô all on Mega Millions.

Last night's winning ticket also has the Megaplier, an option players select at the time of purchase that multiplies non-jackpot winning tickets up to four times. Matching the first five numbers wins $250,000, however, since this winning ticket has the Megaplier it makes matching the first five numbers an automatic $1 million winner.

This winning ticket was the only $1,000,000 winner in the country for last night┬┤s draw. Idaho continues to lead the nation's lottery jurisdictions in wins per capita over $500,000 on the multi-state jackpot games.

"With the Powerball jackpot at $200 million, an Idaho-only jackpot on the Winner Take All Raffle over $125,000, and now all the excitement surrounding our million dollar winners, we remind everyone to play what you can afford, don┬┤t go overboard. Please play responsibly," added Anderson.
