- Verification Source #1: MegaMillions.com provides winning numbers for recent drawings, but not for the specific date implied in the article.
- Assessment: Contradicted. The numbers provided in the article do not match the numbers reported in another ABC News article (source 5).

The date of the drawing is not explicitly stated in the original article, making it difficult to verify definitively, but the numbers are inconsistent with a recent drawing.
