Across the country, not only were there no jackpot winners, but there were no second-place winners either. Only a total of nine winners won a third-place prize, two of which added on the $1 Megaplier option to double their prizes.

Birthdates win a NC man $1 million online

The February 12 Mega Millions drawing was a lucky one for Carlos Cortes of Matthews, NC. Cortes played birthdates that were significant to him and put together his own winning numbers. Moreover, he stated that he had “been playing them for a bit.”

According to Cortes, “I did a few double takes. I realized it was the five numbers and I probably would have hit the ceiling if the last numbers hit. It’s a lot more than what I had so that’s the important thing.”

And significantly, Cortes bought his winner online through the NC Lottery.

Cortes decided to claim his prize as a lump sum payment of $707,511 after all the required taxes of federal and state. Remember that the odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1:302 million. A second-place prize like Cortes’ where you match all five white numbers stands at odds of 1:12.6 million.
