Fourteen players across 10 states matched five numbers to win $1 million.

Houston ticket wins $1M as single ticket wins $1.35B Mega Millions jackpot.

A lucky person in Houston is starting their day with a bigger bank balance after matching five numbers in the Mega Millions drawing on Friday night. This is great news, but the real excitement came from a lucky ticket holder in Maine who won the massive $1.35 billion jackpot after 25 straight drawings and three months of waiting. This jackpot win is the fourth-largest in U.S. history.

The winning numbers from April. 13 were 29-43-44-49-61 and the gold Mega Magic Ball was 16. Additionally, 14 players across 10 states matched five numbers and won a million dollars each.

One of the tickets was sold in Houston, at the Sunrise Super Stop on Richmond Ave. in the Upper Kirby area. This win comes as no surprise, as Texans have been getting richer with a string of lucky wins recently. A resident in Fort Stockton recently won the top prize in the $1,000,000 Cash Blowout scratch-off game, while someone in Rockdale, east of Austin, scored $1 million playing the $1,000,000 Crossword. Another winner in Fort Worth scored one of the four $1 million prizes playing the $1,000,000 Diamond Riches scratch-off.

Friday's prosperous drawing was likewise the seventh time there was a fabulous award victor on Friday the thirteenth, a date that is viewed as unfortunate by some.

To guarantee the full $1.35 billion, the champ would have to take the cash in an annuity with yearly installments more than 29 years. Notwithstanding, most bonanza beneficiaries incline toward the diminished yet faster money choice. For Friday late evening's drawing, the assessed cash choice was $724.6 million.
