On election night, Michael Chavez was anxious about presidential results and checked them at night but forgot to check his lottery ticket. He discovered he had won over $1.2 million the next morning after receiving a humorous text from a co-worker about the winning Mega Millions ticket. The winning ticket was purchased from Lake Liquor in Lakewood, which will earn a $6,000 commission. Additionally, a rise in Mega Millions ticket prices is set for April, alongside a slight improvement in winning odds.
Chavez matched five out of six numbers in the Nov. 5, 2024, draw. "I could not believe my eyes," he said. "I'll never forget election night or especially that text."
