Change of plans after $5 million win Drawing Date: 2/24/2026 February 25, 2026 - A routine morning took a life-changing turn for Matt of Jenks after he discovered he had won $5 million playing the Oklahoma Lottery’s Mega Millions®. Matt purchased his Mega Millions ticket for last night’s draw at QuikTrip, located at 903 E. Trudgeon St. in Henryetta. Then this morning, he had a little time before work when he remembered the ticket and decided to check it using the Oklahoma Lottery ticket checker. The result was immediate and unforgettable: the screen read, “YOU WON $5 MILLION!” Shocked by the news, Matt knew he needed to pause everything. He went home right away to tell his wife that he was heading to Oklahoma City to claim his winning ticket. At this time, Matt says he doesn’t have any major plans for the prize and is focused on investing his winnings wisely. “Moments like this are exactly why we love what we do,” said Abby Morgan, Director of Marketing & Product Development for the Oklahoma Lottery. “Matt’s story is such a great reminder that you never know when a simple decision can completely change your life.” With this win, Matt becomes the 95th million-dollar winner in Oklahoma Lottery history. While Matt’s ticket delivered a huge win, the Mega Millions jackpot was not won in last night’s drawing. The jackpot now rolls to an estimated $458 million for Friday night’s draw, giving Oklahomans another shot at a life-changing prize.
