A single ticket sold in Florida just changed someone’s life — to the tune of $800 million, according to a report from News4JAX sister station WKMG in Orlando.
The Mega Millions ticket matched all six numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing, claiming the estimated $800 million prize, or $344.2 million as a lump-sum cash payout.

The winning numbers were 34, 48, 49, 59 and 70, with a Mega Ball of 12.
Lottery officials have not yet identified the winner or the store where the ticket was sold, but we know that it was sold in Florida.
The win is the 10th largest in Mega Millions history, and just the third jackpot won in 2026.
Florida isn’t new to this — the state holds the game’s all-time record jackpot of $1.602 billion, won Aug. 8, 2023. Tuesday’s win is the sixth time Florida has won or shared a Mega Millions jackpot since joining the game in 2013.
Two other tickets also had a big night. A ticket sold in Illinois matched all five white balls and won $5 million. A New York ticket did the same and took home $3 million.
If you missed out on Mega Millions, Powerball offers another shot at life-changing money. No ticket matched all six numbers Monday night, pushing the Powerball jackpot to an estimated $663 million.
