MIAMI – A single lucky person who purchased a Mega Tens of millions ticket in northern Florida is now a mega-millionaire.
One particular ticket sold at a Publix in Neptune Beach front, east of Jacksonville, matched the Mega Millions profitable quantities for the $1.58 billion jackpot: 13, 19, 20, 32, 33, with a Mega Ball of 14.
The jackpot was the greatest in Mega Millions historical past.
Whoever received could pick out to spread the entire total in once-a-year payments over 29 a long time or acquire a just one-time payment of about $783 million, both equally in advance of taxes.
Just before previous night, the Mega Millions game was last gained in New York on April 18.
One ticket with a Megaplier bought in Hollywood matched the 5 numbers, but not the Mega Ball amount, to earn $2 million.
The jackpot now resets to $20 million.
Mega Thousands and thousands drawings are held Tuesday and Friday, tickets price tag $2. The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 303 million.
