A single Mega Millions ticket sold in Bradenton matched all six numbers in the Tuesday, July 28 drawing to win an $803 million jackpot, according to the Florida Lottery.
The winning ticket was sold at a Wawa convenience store, and the player used the Quick Pick option. The winning numbers were 34-48-49-59-70, with Mega Ball 12.
For Florida players, the win adds another top-tier jackpot sold in the state. Tuesday’s prize ranked as the 10th largest in Mega Millions history. The Florida Lottery said there have now been six overall jackpot winners in Florida since Mega Millions began selling tickets in the state in 2013. That list includes the state’s record $1.6 billion Mega Millions jackpot from Aug. 8, 2023.
The winner has not been identified in the available details, and the source report did not say whether the ticket has been claimed or whether the winner will choose a cash option or annuity.
Two other tickets in Tuesday’s drawing matched all five white balls but not the Mega Ball. One sold in New York is worth $3 million with a 3x multiplier, and one sold in Illinois is worth $5 million with a 5x multiplier.
Mega Millions noted that the odds of winning the top jackpot with a single $5 ticket are 1 in 290,472,336.
The jackpot now resets to $50 million for the next drawing on Friday, July 31.
