BALTIMORE— The Mega Millions jackpot has grown to $575 million for Tuesday’s drawing as no one matched all six numbers, however three Maryland players won third-tier prizes of $10,000 on the multi-state game, one each in Rockville, Waldorf and Williamsport.
Meanwhile two scratch-off players who purchased the $5 The Big Spin game took their turns at the wheel, with one from District Heights winning $150,000 and one from Baltimore winning $125,000.
Across Maryland, the Lottery paid more than $28.8 million in prizes during the seven-day period ending Aug. 26, including 32 tickets worth $10,000 or more that were sold or redeemed during that span.
Winners of prizes larger than $25,000 must redeem their tickets at the Maryland Lottery Claims Center in Baltimore, which is open by appointment only.
