4/09/2012 - 9:18 AM Downsville Man Claims $250,000 Mega Millions Prize
With so much buzz surrounding the record-high jackpot, Clark decided to pick up a few Mega Millions tickets from the Cypress Street U-Pak-It on Cypress Street in West Monroe. "I felt weak in the knees," said Clark, after realizing he won a second-tier Mega Millions prize. He may be a first-time player, but Clark already knows just what to do with the winnings-pay off his home. Clark's ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers, but missed the yellow Mega Ball number, to win $250,000. The winning numbers for the March 30 drawing were 02-04-23-38-46 and the Mega Ball was 23. Clark received $175,000 after federal and state taxes were withheld. The Mega Millions jackpot for the March 30 drawing was $656 million, with a cash value of $473 million, also a world record. Jackpot-winning tickets were sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland. Louisiana players won $1,546,842 in the drawing, including another $250,000 winning ticket in Baton Rouge, one $30,000 Megaplier winner and 11 winners of $10,000. Cypress Street U-Pak-It will receive a selling bonus of $2,500, or 1 percent of the prize, for selling Clark his winning ticket. Lottery ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. Draw-style game tickets must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing. Anyone who may have a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem should call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help. For security purposes, the Lottery strongly encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing.
