Louisiana Lottery Corp. officials say two winning lottery tickets worth $3 million each were both sold at the same Murphy Express gas station on La. 16 in Watson. Each Mega Millions for Tuesday’s drawing ticket contained three plays worth $1 million each. The usual match-5 prize is $250,000; but when the optional $1-per-play Megaplier option is purchased, the prize becomes $1 million. Officials say one of the winners claimed his prize on Wednesday. The other ticket has not been claimed. The gas station will receive a bonus of $60,000, or 1% of the prize, for selling the winning tickets.
