While the big jackpot was won by someone in South Carolina, two Mega Millions tickets worth $1 million were sold in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Lottery said the tickets were sold at Cumberland Farms in Bridgewater and Wilmington Nouria, a gas station, in Wilmington.
Each location will get a $10,000 bonus for its sale of a $1-million winning ticket.
To win a $1 million prize in Mega Millions, the first five winning numbers on a ticket must match the first five numbers in the drawing. To win the jackpot prize, all five winning numbers plus the Mega Ball number must match the numbers drawn.
The winning numbers for the $1.537 billion Mega Millions jackpot were drawn Tuesday night.
The winning numbers were 5-28-62-65-70 and the Mega Ball was 5.
