State lottery officials said Wednesday that a winning Mega Millions ticket worth $3 million was sold Christmas morning at Avenue News at 821 Farmington Ave, Bristol for the Tuesday, Dec. 25, drawing.

The winning numbers drawn were 2 - 8 - 42 - 43 - 50. The Mega Ball was 6, and the Megaplier was 3.

The winning ticket holder matched the first "white" ball numbers drawn, but missed the Mega Ball number. Because the ticket was purchased with the Megaplier feature added, the $1 million prize was automatically multiplied by three for $3 million.

The jackpot now grows to $348 million with a cash payout of an estimated $210.2 million.

The next Mega Million drawing is 11 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 28.
