You knew eventually someone would win. My only real wish was that it wasn’t someone in California again. Something better happened. According to WFLA, someone bought the winning ticket at a Publix located at 630 Atlantic Boulevard in Neptune Beach, Florida. The Mega Millions winner is here in Florida.
The winning Mega Million numbers from last night were 13, 19, 20, 32, and 33, and the Mega Ball was 14.
Neptune Beach is just north of Jacksonville. A1A runs through there. The Publix that sold the winning ticket is very near the beach, one of those stores you stop at the pick up essentials before boating or the beach. Or in this case, a lottery ticket worth enough to buy a country.
A second big Mega Millions winner was also in Florida. A 2 million dollar winning ticket was sold at the Kwik Stop, 830 Columbus Parkway in Hollywood, Florida.
