Mega Millions Ticket Sold in Cypress Park Store

Mega Millions Ticket Sold in Cypress Park Store

A Mega Millions ticket sold at a Los Angeles store in Cypress Park is worth $56.6 million.

The $1 ticket -- with the winning numbers 3,19, 21, 44, 45 and mega- number 29 -- was sold at Convenience Retailers at 2250 N. Figueroa St., lottery officials said. The store will get a bonus of $282,500 for selling the ticket. The winner has 60 days to claim the prize and can choose a one-time payout of roughly half the total or payments over 26 years. A second winning ticket sold in North Carolina will take the other half of the $113 million jackpot.

Three other tickets sold in Los Angeles County -- Van Nuys, Long Beach and West Covina -- matched five of six numbers, and the ticket holders will split $433,041 three ways.

The jackpot in the multi-state lottery was the first to exceed $100 million since June and the 16th Mega Millions jackpot won by a Californian. The last big winner was a Morro Bay resident who won $135 million.
