A Prineville man has won $1 million with a $1 Mega Millions ticket. The odds of winning $1 million playing Mega Millions is one in 18,492,204.

Charles Beatty purchased the lottery ticket because the Mega Millions jackpot keeps growing and he “thought he would try his luck,” according to a release from Oregon Lottery. The jackpot was at $203 million when Beatty bought his ticket for the May 24 drawing. Since there was no jackpot winner as of Thursday morning, the Mega Millions jackpot has grown to $251 million.

To win $1 million, players must match five numbers but miss the Mega Ball. Beatty’s prize is more than $670,000 after taxes, according to the release.

Beatty purchased his ticket at the Towne Pump & Pantry along Madras Highway (U.S. Highway 26) in Prineville. He is the fourth Oregonian to win $1 million playing the multistate game.

Oregon Lottery officials are also waiting for a $1 million prize to be claimed from a ticket bought the morning of Jan. 13 in Newport, according to the release. The winning numbers are 20-41-53-54-70. The winner has until Jan. 15, 2017 to claim the prize.

Jackpots for Mega Millions start at $15 million and grow at least $5 million per draw each time the jackpot rolls. The Mega Millions is drawn every Tuesday and Friday.
