$4 Million and $1 Million Winning Lottery Tickets Sold Tuesday in Maryland, Two $10,000 Winning Tickets Sold in Gaithersburg

Published July 19, 2023 at 10:33AM

According to a representative from the Maryland lottery, a winning Mega Millions lottery ticket with the Megaplier option worth $4 million was sold at the Lobby Shop at 1 North Charles Street in Baltimore. The base prize amount for a second-tier win in Mega Millions is $1 million, and the person who bought that ticket paid an additional $1 to add the Megaplier option to the ticket, which multiplies any prizes won except the jackpot. The multiplier for last night was 4X, so it quadrupled the $1 million prize to $4 million. There was also a $1 million second-tier winning ticket (without the Megaplier) sold at National Pike Fuel at 5931 Baltimore National Pike in Catonsville.

Locally, there were two third-tier winning tickets worth $10,000 each sold in Gaithersburg: one at Watkins Mill Beer & Wine at 857 Russell Avenue; and the other at the 7-Eleven at 8946 North Westland Drive.
