There, the woman indicated that for many years she has been betting practically on the same winning combination, only from time to time it modifies one or 2 digits. But last April 12 they found out that the big winner of the Mega Millions was the one with the combination 2-8-14-20-31, Mega Ball 20, just the numbers you always bet on.
Although knew the combination by heart, the lucky winner revealed that she had to verify on several occasions that those numbers coincided with those on her ticket, finding that good luck was finally smiling on them.
The day after collecting their prize, this couple went to work as usual, which they do not plan to leave, but they do want to use their money to buy a house, a car and travel.
This is Minnesota’s first Mega Millions jackpot winner since the state joined the game in 2010.
