"Westland Resident Wins $1M in Mega Millions as Jackpot Soars to $820M"

A liquor store in Westland, Michigan, sold a $1 million winning Mega Millions ticket, with the owner expressing gratitude for the customer's win. The lack of a jackpot winner has caused the prize to rise to an estimated $820 million, making it the fifth largest in the history of the game. The next drawing on Tuesday night will only distribute the full amount to a winner who chooses an annuity paid over 29 years, with a cash payout estimated at $422 million. Despite the long odds, players continue to purchase tickets as the grand prize grows.
