Lottery office officials say Wednesday that they’ve confirmed that the winning ticket for the drawing was purchased using the Quick Pick option at the Valero gas station in Middletown in Orange County, 60 miles northwest of Albany.
The announced jackpot was $321 million, but lottery officials say it grew by $5 million because of increased sales in multiple states.
No one has come forward yet to claim the jackpot.
The winning numbers for Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing were 9, 15, 24, 39 and 41. The Mega Ball number was 1.
The Valero gas station store will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
