My mom called me this morning asking if I bought the winning ticket. No mom, I didn't. But sweet that she thought of me lol.
This is what I love about living out here. Regular people, regular stores, and someone just changed their whole life. Really cool to see it happen in our backyard.
NorthBuckeye_NedRight?? It's not always some big city or fancy neighborhood. Just a regular Tuesday at a Fry's and everything changes. Love that about the lottery.
I really hope this person has a good financial advisor lined up. That kind of money can disappear fast if you're not careful.
Three million is great but I keep thinking about what the jackpot could've been without the multiplier. Still not complaining on their behalf though!
My husband and I used to stop at that Fry's every Friday night for our weekly tickets. We moved to Surprise last year and now I'm regretting it lol. Congrats to the winner!
Gwen T.Ha don't feel too bad, you can still grab tickets at stores in Surprise! The winning store just gets bragging rights anyway. Congrats to the winner from us Surprise folks too!
Proud of our little city getting some positive attention for once. Usually we're just known for the heat.
Renewed sense of possibility is a nice way to put it. Might go grab a ticket on my lunch break today honestly.
Anyone else find it a little wild that we don't even know if it's been claimed yet? I'd be at the lottery office the very same day no questions asked.
Frank BustamanteSeriously!! I always wonder how long some people sit on winning tickets without checking. I check mine the second I get home every single time, no exceptions.
Good luck to whoever it is. Hope they take the lump sum and invest smart. Don't blow it all in year one.
The multiplier feature is what got me back into playing Mega Millions. Turning a million into three million is no joke. Makes it worth buying that extra ticket.
lisa_maricopaSame here! I never used to bother with the add-ons but tripling a million dollar prize is hard to argue with. Definitely worth the extra dollar.
This is why I always grab a ticket when I'm doing my grocery run. You just never know!
Been playing Mega Millions for 12 years and never matched more than two numbers. But sure, lightning could strike twice 🙄
Good for Buckeye getting some positive news for once. Hope the winner enjoys every penny of it.
Dave OconnerAgreed. Buckeye has been growing so fast lately, nice to have a feel good story come out of it for a change.
My coworker swears she was at that Fry's the same day the ticket was sold. She is NOT happy it wasn't her.
I'm a little skeptical when they say nearby businesses got more foot traffic. That happens every time someone sneezes near a lottery machine.
I bought a ticket at that same location last week! Just a few days off from being a millionaire. So excited for whoever pulled this off though, truly!
Carol Jean H.Oh wow, that's so close!! I'd have such mixed feelings about that honestly. Happy for the winner but also… ugh lol. Congrats to them though for sure!
So happy for this winner! Stuff like this makes you believe good things can still happen to regular people.
Arizona has had a few big wins lately. Something in the water out here I guess haha.
Lightning striking twice though? That Fry's might as well become the luckiest store in the West Valley now. People will be lining up for weeks.
My husband and I drove past that Fry's yesterday just to see it lol. We're ridiculous I know.
25, 37, 59, 68, 70 and Mega Ball 10... writing these down for next time haha. Probably won't help but a girl can dream!
Patricia MoeHa, I do the same thing! Probably doesn't help statistically but it feels better than just doing quick picks. Good luck next time!
Dream big — after all, someone in Buckeye turned that exact combination into three million dollars, so why not you next time?
I wish they would say whether it's been claimed or not. The not knowing is the most interesting part of the story.
Honestly good for that person. With how expensive everything is right now three million dollars is life changing.
Honestly I'm a little skeptical these multipliers are as great as they sound. Still gotta match all those numbers first which is nearly impossible odds wise.
jerry_azOh you're definitely right about the odds, no argument there. But the multiplier just means IF you beat those crazy odds, the payoff is bigger. I'll take that trade!
That's a fair point, and matching all five numbers plus the Mega Ball is no small feat — but as this Buckeye winner showed, the multiplier made a real difference, tripling the prize from one million to three million dollars once they did!
The multiplier going from one million to three million is actually a huge deal. A lot of people don't realize how much that changes things.
This is so exciting! I really hope whoever won it is local and spends some of it here in Buckeye.
So happy for whoever won this. Buckeye is a great community and I hope this person uses it well. Congrats from a neighbor!
Denise FultonTotally agree, Buckeye people are good people. Hoping they maybe put some of it back into the community somehow. Either way, well deserved!
Every time something like this happens the lines at every gas station in the area double the next day. Watch.
The numbers were 25, 37, 59, 68, 70 — I'm writing these down for next time, not that it works that way but still 😄
Still not sure if the prize has been claimed yet? Someone out there might not even know they're sitting on 3 million dollars. Check your tickets people!!
Tom R.This happens more than people realize! I read that unclaimed lottery prizes are actually pretty common. Please someone check your tickets from that Fry's!!
You're absolutely right to spread the word — as we mentioned, it remains uncertain whether the prize has been claimed, so anyone who bought a ticket at that Fry's on West Indian School Road should double-check immediately!
I bought a ticket at that same Fry's last week. Lesson learned, I should've bought two.
I drove by that Fry's yesterday and there was definitely more people than usual hanging around the lottery machines lol. Everyone wants to be next!
You spotted it firsthand — as we noted, nearby businesses have already seen a noticeable uptick in foot traffic, so it sounds like the Buckeye lottery fever is very real right now!
buckeye_barbHa, I believe it! I drove by there too and even the parking lot seemed busier. Good luck to everyone giving it a shot. Maybe lightning does strike twice!
Still haven't heard if they claimed it yet?? The suspense is killing me. Someone update us!
Good for them honestly. Buckeye doesn't get a lot of big news like this so it's fun to see.
Three million dollars!! The multiplier thing actually worked out huge for this person. That's the difference between a nice win and a life changing win.
Mike DelgadoExactly what I was thinking. Without that multiplier it's still great but three million is a completely different life than one million. Game changer for sure.
I live two streets over from that Fry's. Wondering if I've seen this person in the checkout line before lol.
Three million dollars. THREE MILLION. The multiplier thing actually worked out for somebody, that's wild.
Oh my gosh, that Fry's on Indian School?? I shop there all the time! Could have been me buying that ticket. Congrats to whoever won!
Sandra K.I know, right?! That store is so busy all the time too. Imagine being in line right behind the person who bought it. I'd lose my mind lol.
Oh my gosh, the Fry's on West Indian School Road?! I shop there like every week. Could have been me!
