From $50 to $2 million: Kentucky man misses Mega Millions jackpot by one number, wins $2 million instead

A Kentucky resident narrowly missed a $125 million Mega Millions jackpot but still secured a seven-figure prize. The $2 million ticket, bought at a Racetrac gas station in Frankfort, showcased numbers significant to his family, which includes birthdates. After winning $50 on the first ticket, the man scanned his second ticket and exclaimed, “I scanned the next one and it said $2 million. It took me a second to digest it.”
