The ticket matched all five white balls drawn, 8-19-53-61-69, but not the yellow Mega Ball 19, to win $1 million, less applicable withholding.

It sold the Shop ‘n Save, 600 Willowbrook Plaza, Belle Vernon, which will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

More than 32,600 other PA Lottery Mega Millions tickets won prizes of various amounts in the drawing, including more than 8,300 tickets purchased with Megaplier.
