Winning Ticket Location: The Wawa at 10 Davisville Road in Warminster sold the $3 million winning ticket.
Winning Numbers: The white balls drawn on July 3 were 5-9-29-47-57. The Mega Ball was 16, which the winner did not match.
Store Bonus: The Wawa will receive a $10,000 retailer bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Jackpot Update: The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to **$576 million** (approximately $253.9 million cash option), with the next drawing scheduled for Tuesday, July 7.
Smaller Prizes: Over 13,400 tickets won smaller prizes in the same drawing. Winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
Why this matters: Pennsylvania continues to produce significant lottery winners, highlighting the accessibility of life-changing prizes through everyday purchases at local retailers.
The Pennsylvania Lottery, operated by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue since 1972, has raised over $37.2 billion for programs serving older residents across the state. This recent win in Bucks County adds to the lottery's long history of producing millionaires from routine convenience store stops.
The $3 million prize came from a ticket that matched all five white balls (5-9-29-47-57) but missed the Mega Ball (16). In Mega Millions, matching five numbers without the Mega Ball typically awards $1 million, but the prize was multiplied thanks to the Megaplier option, which many players opt for at an additional cost.
This win follows another notable Bucks County prize — a $3.2 million scratch-off ticket also sold in the area, and a Cash 5 ticket worth $666,667 sold at a Morrisville tobacco shop on June 29 (odds of 1 in 962,598).
The growing Mega Millions jackpot — now at $576 million — is expected to drive heightened ticket sales leading up to the Tuesday, July 7 drawing. For perspective, the cash option of approximately $253.9 million would make the winner an instant multimillionaire before taxes.
While lotteries offer entertainment and the dream of winning big, a recent study published by Penn State's Criminal Justice Center, the University of Kentucky's College of Social Work, and the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs found that between 60% and 73% of Pennsylvania adults gambled in the past year. Nearly a third of those gamblers were at risk of "problem gambling," with young men being the most at-risk demographic.
