Larry, a Tulsa resident, claimed a $1 million Mega Millions prize Wednesday at the Oklahoma Lottery Winner Center in Oklahoma City. The winning ticket was purchased at QuikTrip at 5955 S. Lewis in Tulsa. Larry is now the Oklahoma Lottery’s 79th millionaire.

When Larry checked his ticket on Saturday morning, he thought he had won $10,000. But when he came to the Oklahoma Lottery Winner Center to claim his prize, he was told it was actually a $1 million-dollar prize and he was shocked!

The ticket was purchased for the $1.35 billion drawing that occurred on Friday, August 4, 2023, the second largest Mega Millions jackpot ever at the time.
