$36M Winning Mega Millions Jackpot Ticket Sold At FL Publix

JACKSONVILLE, FL — Another lucky person in Florida purchased a winning ticket for Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing worth $36 million, just a week after someone in the Sunshine State won the game's record-breaking $1.6 billion jackpot.

The numbers drawn late Tuesday were 18, 39, 42, 57 and 63. The gold Mega Ball was 7. A player must match all five white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the jackpot.

The winning Florida ticket was sold at Publix on Roosevelt Boulevard in Jacksonville, WFLA reported.

Tuesday night's drawing also produced a big winner in New Jersey, where someone purchased a ticket worth $1 million, meaning the ticket matched all five white balls. Meanwhile, nine tickets across the country won the third-tier prize of $10,000, meaning their tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball. Another ticket won the third-tier prize but included the Megaplier option, making it worth $30,000.

Should Tuesday's winner select the cash option, which most players do, they'll walk away with $17.4 million before taxes.

Tuesday's big win marks the third time in less than a year a ticket purchased in Florida matched all six balls to secure the jackpot.

In October, a resident of Fort Myers, which was devastated by Hurricane Ian just weeks earlier, split the $502 million jackpot prize with a winner in California. That winning ticket was sold at 7-Eleven at 2980 Colonial Blvd.

Drawings are held at 11 p.m. ET on Tuesdays and Fridays.
