Mega Millions, a lottery game that is offered in 45 states across the country, had a $1 million pay out on a ticket sold in the South Shore community.
Two other Mega Millions tickets, both with winnings of $40,000, were sold in Massachusetts for Tuesday night's drawing — one in East Hampton, Mass. at Big E's Foodland, and another in Clinton, Mass. at Next Door Market.
There were no jackpot winners in Tuesday's drawing, which had a cash option of $550.2 million.
