A lucky someone who purchased a Mega Millions ticket in Florida has won Tuesday night’s US$1.58 billion (C$2.12 billion) jackpot, the lottery announced.

The win is the largest in Mega Millions history, and the third-largest lottery jackpot ever doled out in the U.S., according to the Florida lottery. Though the winner’s identity hasn’t been announced publicly, the successful ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket in Neptune Beach, Fla.

“I’m happy but a little bit depressed because I didn’t come out and buy them,” resident Chris Smeehuyzen said. “It’s gonna change the whole town. I think it’s gonna turn upside down. We have no idea.”

The lucky winner can claim their prize in a lump sum or annuity payments over 30 years, both of which are taxed. Tuesday’s lucky numbers were 13, 19, 20, 32 and 33 with a gold Mega Ball of 14.

  1. That was an exciting long ride… Billion congrats to the winner!! ? Next stop, Powerball at $170M and hopefully another race to the top. Max, here. My quest is to share 50% of the cash-value jackpot with many people, including a pledge to donate 10% to helping children with cancer. Good luck to everybody! ??

  2. Why is Canadian news reporting this? I dont see US news reporting Canadian lottery winnings. Goes to show nobody cares about Canada but the world cannot NOT pay attention to the US. Canada is sad…. no one cares about it.
