JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A Mega Millions ticket sold at the Scarlet Pearl Casino and Resort in D'Iberville is worth $1 million!

The player was only one number away from winning the estimated jackpot of $257 million by missing the Mega Ball number of 5.

The winning Mega Millions numbers from last night's drawing were 10-18-27-37-61 with a Mega Ball of 5 and a Megaplier of 3.

Had the player spent the additional $1 on the Megaplier option, they would have tripled their prize to $3 million.
