Tuesday's Mega Millions lottery drawing has yielded a $1 million winner in Minnesota.

Officials with the Minnesota Lottery said the ticket was bought in Eden Prairie at the BP gas station near Hwy. 62 and Shady Oak Road.

The $2 ticket matched the numbers drawn from among 70 in all, 25-37-46-48-68, but missed the Mega Ball of 25, which would have been good for a $475 million jackpot.

The ticket holder has one year to claim the winnings. The gas station collects $5,000 for making the lucky sale.

There were three other $1 million winners around the country from Tuesday's drawing. Those tickets were sold in Arizona, Connecticut and Michigan.

A ticket purchased in Colorado hit the same numbers and missed the Mega Ball but is worth $2 million because that gambler paid $1 to exercise the "Megaplier" option.

The next Mega Millions drawing is Friday, with the jackpot growing to at least $530 million.

Of course, any winnings are subject to taxes.
