A single Quick Pick ticket sold in Florida emerged as the sole winner of the jaw-dropping $1.58 billion MEGA MILLIONS jackpot from Tuesday’s drawing.
The ticket was purchased from Publix at 630 Atlantic Boulevard, Neptune Beach. The golden numbers were 13-19-20-32-33, with the Mega Ball being 14.
The seller, Publix, will be awarded a hefty bonus of $100,000 for this monumental sale.
Another ticket, which matched all five white balls, also secured a $2 million prize. This ticket was bought from Kwik Stop in Hollywood, resulting in a $1,000 bonus commission for the store.
Winners have 180 days to claim their jackpot, but those opting for a one-time lump-sum payment of $783.3 million must come forward within 60 days.
This series of rollovers contributed a significant $73.4 million to Florida’s education system.
