BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A lottery player in Louisiana is $4 million richer.

Multiple media outlets report a ticket purchased for Tuesday’s Mega Millions game hit the $1 million prize by matching the five white balls drawn. The player also bought the multiplier, which was 4, making the ticket worth $4 million.

Had the ticket hit the Mega Ball, it would have won the $126 million jackpot, which now rolls over to $143 million for Friday’s drawing.



The winning numbers drawn Tuesday were: 2, 7, 20, 55 and 70 and the Mega Ball 1. The ticket was purchased at a Brothers Food Mart in Terrytown.
