A Waxahachie resident claimed a second-tier Mega Millions prize worth $4 million, the Texas Lottery says.
The winning ticket came from the drawing on Oct. 27 and had a Megaplier applied. The ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn (11-32-43-57-70), but not the Mega Ball number (6). The Megaplier number was 4, quadrupling the $1 million prize amount to $4 million.
After taxes of about 37%, the winner should take home a little more than $2.5 million.
By choosing the Megaplier feature for $1 more per play, players can multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four, or five times, winning as much as $5 million.

The current Mega Millions jackpot is an estimated $267 million for Friday night's drawing. That comes with a cash value option of $122 million.
