A lucky Vicksburg player’s Friday night turned into a fortunate weekend with a $209,999 Mississippi Match 5 jackpot win from Friday’s drawing.
The player matched all five numbers and purchased the ticket from Suds N Smokes in the River City. They used the Quick Pick option for some numbers and chose the other numbers. As they watched the news Friday night, the player thought some of the winning numbers looked like theirs.
Upon verifying the numbers the next morning, the realization of matching all five numbers and winning the jackpot sunk in.
The jackpot for tonight’s drawing is an estimated $54,000.

The jackpot for the Mega Millions drawing Tuesday, March 5, is $650 million, with an estimated cash value of $308.6 million. The jackpot was last hit on December 8 and was worth $394 million.
