Someone who bought a Mega Millions ticket at a Forsyth County convenience store won a $1 million prize in New Year’s Eve Mega Millions drawing, according to a press release from the North Carolina Education Lottery.

The lucky winner purchased the ticket at the Circle K on Williams Road in Lewisville. The $2 ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls to win the $1 million prize. The odds of matching numbers on all five white balls are 1 in 12.6 million.

The Mega Millions drawing also produced two $10,000 wins in North Carolina. Those lucky tickets were purchased at the Great D on U.S. 601 in Yadkinville and the Walnut Cove Market on South Main Street in Walnut Cove.

The winners have 180 days from the drawing to claim their prize.
