PHOENIX (May 6, 2010) — A group of 12 who work together in Tucson won the $250,000 second prize from the Mega Millions drawing on May 4—the state’s second $250,000 win since the game was introduced to Arizonans on April 18.

The group, who purchased 60 “Quick Pick” tickets at the D/S Corner Store at 1895 E. Valencia Road in Tucson, said they had been purchasing Mega Millions tickets since it was introduced here last month.

Each member of the winning pool received $14,583.34 after taxes. The winners were:

1.      Danielle Deller of Sahuarita

2.      Maria Felix-Gray of Vail

3.      Christine Garcia of Tucson

4.      Juan Guerra of Tucson

The winners declined to be interviewed by the media.

This is the second ticket in recent weeks that has won the second prize by matching all five white ball numbers. Michael Pettigrew of Yuma claimed his $250,000 prize on Monday from the April 27 drawing, saying that he was happy to finally be able to purchase his Mega Millions tickets in Arizona after previously having to travel to California to buy them.
