In a tale of luck from El Paso, an unnamed resident has stepped into the spotlight, claiming a remarkable second-tier Mega Millions prize of $1 million from the August 8, 2023 drawing. The winning ticket, a Quick Pick, was secured at In and Out Gas Station, nestled at 10197 Alameda Ave. in Socorro.

Choosing to remain incognito, the lucky winner's ticket boasted a perfect match for all five white ball numbers drawn (13-19-20-32-33), missing only the Mega Ball number (14). Mega Millions, a game of chance where players pick five numbers from a pool of 70 and a Mega Ball number from a secondary pool of 25, requires all six numbers to be a jackpot winner.

While the Mega Millions jackpot kicks off at a substantial $20 million, the allure of the second-tier prize, a handsome $1 million, proved to be life-changing for our fortunate winner. For those seeking an extra thrill, the Megaplier feature, available for an additional dollar per play, can multiply non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four, or five times, potentially reaching an impressive $5 million.
