Florida Player Wins Record $1.58 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot After 31 Drawings Without Winner

A single ticket purchased in Florida won the $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpot, the largest in the game's history.
The jackpot accumulated over 31 consecutive drawings without a winner before being claimed on August 8, 2023.
The winning ticket with numbers 13, 19, 20, 32, 33, and Mega Ball 14 was sold at a Publix supermarket in Neptune Beach, Florida.
The winner can choose between receiving the full $1.58 billion as an annuity over 29 years or a lump sum payment of $783.3 million.
Seven other tickets matched the five white balls to win second-tier prizes of at least $1 million each.
