Summary
A Palmdale, California ticket holder narrowly missed the Mega Millions jackpot but still walked away with a life-changing $7.3 million for matching five of six numbers — the second-largest such prize in California since 2014. The retailer also pocketed $36,000 as a bonus. With odds of 1 in 290 million, this near-miss proves big wins can still come from close calls. The jackpot continues to climb toward $743 million, with a cash option over $323 million. And yes — every dollar helps fund California’s public schools, from classroom tech to teacher training.
