Who’s to say a losing lottery ticket can’t turn into a winner?
The Mississippi Lottery Corporation announced Monday that a player in Liberty initially lost on a $20 scratch-off game, but after submitting a 2nd Chance application on the MLC website, that same player will now be $1 million richer.
The most recent 2nd Chance promotional drawing happened July 3, and while the million-dollar winner headlined the group, a total of $2.22 million was announced for those who made the extra effort on losing tickets.
The following winners should expect an email notification:
