Man from Greenwood claimed $3 million Mega Millions prize

The unidentified man lottery winners in Delaware are permitted to remain anonymous purchased the ticket at the Royal Farms in Bridgeville ahead of the July 22, 2022 drawing.

He correctly had all five of the white balls, but missed the Megaball.

The prize for that level is $1 million, but because he had paid an extra dollar for the Megaplier, which came up 3X, his jackpot tripled to the $3 million.

In an interview with Delaware Lottery officials, the man said he typically plays Multi-Win Lotto, but opted to try Mega Millions when he was the estimated $860 million jackpot.

"I was just showing my wife how easy it is to use the self-service kiosk,” the man said. “We saw how big the jackpot was for Mega Millions and decided to give it a try. Why not, right? I’ve won $500 and $600 prizes from Multi-Win Lotto before, but I never expected anything like this.”
