The lucky winner won the pile of cash on a Mega Millions ticket for Tuesday's game that was sold at Dolly's Deli at 6 Boston Ave., in Stratford, said lottery officials.
The winning numbers were: 6 - 30 - 58 - 60 - 61, Mega Ball number 17 and the Megaplier number 5.
The player matched five numbers, but because they plopped downed an extra buck for the Megaplier, their $1,000,000 prize was multiplied to $5 million.
This was the lottery's first $5,000,000 Mega Millions prize.
The holder of the ticket, who has not claimed the prize, has 180 calendar days from the winning date to claim their cash.
