The $206 million Mega Millions number was announced last night—and it turns out that a winning ticket was sold at a Long Island King Kullen supermarket. And what's more, it was bought last night, before the 11 p.m. drawing! Frank Vassalo, who manages the King Kullen in Middle Island, told 1010 WINS, "All we know so far is that it was purchased last night at the store it could possibly even be an employee which would be exciting."
The winning numbers are 23, 32, 33, 39, 43 and the mega-ball is 8. Apparently three second-place tickets (with all the numbers except mega-ball) were bought in New York, and those are worth $250,000.
