COLUMBIA, SC (August 21, 2024) – With no winner in Tuesday night’s Mega
Millions® drawing, Friday’s jackpot has grown to $527 MILLION. Two
tickets sold along the coast missed the jackpot by one number and are worth $40,000.
Check your tickets if you played Mega Millions® at King Street Station at 356 King St. in Charleston and the Circle K at 1206 Palm Blvd. in Isle of Palms for Tuesday’s drawing.
The winning ticket holders matched four white ball numbers
and the gold Megaball® number to win $10,000. Because the players purchased the
Megaplier option, their winnings quadrupled to $40,000.
