‘I Was In Shock’: Canton Woman Wins $3 Million Mega Millions Prize
A woman from Canton, Michigan, got the shock of her life when she won the mega $3 million prize. Reagan Blanton, 52, bought her winning ticket online and matched the five white balls in the October 6 Mega Millions draw. She matched the five white balls: 12-24-46-57-66 to win $1 million. However, the lucky drawer’s prize was up for a ‘Megaplier’ which is eligible for non-jackpot prizes. Thus, her final prize was multiplied three times for a total of $3 million, according to the Michigan Lottery Connect . .
Here’s How She Won The $3 Million Lottery Prize
“I was on vacation and saw the Mega Millions jackpot was getting up there, so I made a mental note to purchase a ticket online when I got home,” said Blanton as per the report.
However, Blanton missed the October 6 drawing, when it happened live, and decided to log onto the lottery’s website later, to see what the winning numbers were.
“A few days after the drawing, I remembered I hadn’t checked my ticket, so I logged in to my Lottery account to see if I won anything.”
