NEPTUNE BEACH, Fla. – The winning ticket in Tuesday’s $1.58 billion Mega Millions drawing was sold at a Publix in Neptune Beach.
The prize was the largest in Mega Millions history, and now everyone is just waiting for the winner to come forward.
Prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing, and because the prize is more than $1 million -- much more -- it must be claimed in person at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee -- even if the person who bought the ticket is from out of state. If the winner wants the single-payment cash option, they must claim it within 60 days of the drawing.
In Florida, Lottery winners cannot remain anonymous, but because of the size of the prize, the winner’s name will be exempt from public disclosure for 90 days, unless the winner waives the exemption.

If you notice.....it’s three sets of consecutive numbers.
13-14 (14 being the megaball)
19-20
32-33
Weird right?
Yes
It's a lot better to win $10,000 or even $50,000.
You get to buy what you want (or need). Then you go back to your normal life.
Yep.
Along with the main prizes there are secondary ones as well.
A few years ago a coworkers son won $750k that way.
The phrase, “rednecks with paychecks,” comes to mind. :)
