BALTIMORE, MD—Maryland Lottery players woke up happier today after matching five numbers in different ways on the October 15 Mega Millions drawing, resulting in a $1 million win in Brooklyn and a $10,000 win in Silver Spring.



One ticket sold in Brooklyn matched all five white balls but missed the Mega Ball, earning a $1 million second-tier prize. The lucky ticket was purchased at Check Cash Depot, located at 8 16th Avenue.

Another ticket sold in Silver Spring matched four of the five white balls and the Mega Ball, securing a $10,000 third-tier win. That ticket was purchased at Briggs Chaney Deli, located at 13832 Outlet Drive.

Winners have 182 days to claim their prizes after the drawing. Prizes exceeding $25,000 must be claimed at the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center in Baltimore by appointment. More information about claiming prizes can be found on the Maryland Lottery website.

No one hit the jackpot in the October 15 drawing, so the estimated jackpot for the October 18 Mega Million drawing has climbed to $185 million, with a cash option of $88.4 million.
