For selling the lucky ticket, the Tulare County store will get a bonus of more than $6,000, according to officials.
The Mega Millions jackpot, which has now increased to an estimated $334 million for Friday’s drawing, was not won by anyone, but over 114,000 tickets in California won rewards in nine different categories.
About 80 cents of every $2 Mega Millions ticket sold in California goes toward funding public education.
