COLUMBIA, SC (August 28, 2024) – No one won last night’s Mega Millions® drawing, so Friday’s jackpot is an estimated $627 MILLION. But two players in South Carolina did wake up millionaires this morning.
Check your tickets if you played Mega Millions® in Fort Mill or Longs.
A $2 MILLION winning ticket was sold at the Quik Trip #1075 at 891 Gold Hill Rd. in Fort Mill. A ticket worth $1 MILLION was sold at the Food Lion #2112 at 110 Hwy. 9 E. in Longs.
