A Maryland Lottery player is holding a $30,000 Mega Millions winning ticket after Tuesday night’s drawing, and another unclaimed $20,000 ticket sold in Gaithersburg last month is still waiting to be claimed.
The $30,000 winning ticket was sold at the BP gas station at 5818 Martin Luther King Jr. Highway in Seat Pleasant. The winning numbers for the July 14 drawing were 2, 4, 10, 48 and 56, with a Mega Ball of 22. The ticket matched four of the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball for a third-tier prize. The base prize of $10,000 was tripled to $30,000 thanks to the automatic X3 multiplier.
Meanwhile, Maryland Lottery officials are reminding players that two $20,000 Mega Millions tickets remain unclaimed, including one sold June 23 at the 7-Eleven at 20211 Goshen Road in Gaithersburg. The other was sold June 7 at Xtra Fuel in College Park.
No one matched all six numbers to win Tuesday night’s jackpot, which has now grown to an estimated $672 million for Friday’s drawing, with a cash option of approximately $293.3 million. Since the last jackpot was won on March 17, Maryland players have claimed more than $4.6 million in Mega Millions prizes.
