Southern California has another millionaire thanks to Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing.

The winning ticket missed hitting the jackpot by one number but is still worth a prize of more than $2.9 million with five matching numbers.


It was bought at a service station on the corner of National and Sawtelle boulevards in Sawtelle, according to a California Lottery news release.

The lucky location appeared to be an SK gas station in footage taken by KTLA.

The winning numbers from Tuesday’s drawing are 8, 23, 44, 45, 53, and Mega number 3.

Second-place winners are given 180 days to come forward and claim their prize.

The $2.9 million ticket hit just days after Friday night’s drawing, in which two tickets sold at the same Encino store both hit the jackpot.

Those winners will split a $395 million prize and have one year to claim it.
