$4 million winner from Mountain Grove, MO

Murphy USA located on 2106 N. Main Avenue in Mountain Grove sold the winner. The ticket matched all five of the white balls, enough to claim the second-place prize of $1 million known as a Match 5 winner. However, the winner added on the optional $1 Megaplier option, which means the prize quadrupled to $4 million. Definitely, a worthwhile $1 investment.
