One Quick Pick sold at a Bradenton Wawa matched all six numbers in the July 28, 2026 Mega Millions drawing to win an estimated $800 million - the game's third jackpot of the year and the 10th-largest in its history.
A single Sunshine State ticket takes it all
One ticket did it. Mega Millions confirmed that a lone ticket sold in Florida matched every number in the Tuesday, July 28, 2026 drawing to win an estimated $800 million jackpot - the game's third grand-prize win of the year and, by the operator's count, the 10th-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history. For the lucky holder, an ordinary summer evening quietly turned into a life-changing one.
The numbers and the cash
The winning combination was 34, 48, 49, 59 and 70, with the gold Mega Ball 12. The estimated $800 million annuity carries a lump-sum cash value of about $344.2 million. The prize can be taken either as the advertised annuity paid out over decades or as the smaller one-time cash payment - a choice every big jackpot winner faces.
Sold at a Bradenton Wawa
According to the Florida Lottery, the winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at a Wawa at 14510 State Road 70 East in Bradenton, on Florida's Gulf coast north of Sarasota. That the numbers were computer-generated is a reminder that most jackpots are won on Quick Picks rather than carefully chosen personal numbers.
Florida's long lucky streak
Florida is no stranger to enormous Mega Millions news. The state holds the game's all-time record jackpot of $1.602 billion, won on August 8, 2023, and since joining Mega Millions in 2013 it has now won or shared six jackpots. Under Florida rules, jackpot winners have 180 days from the drawing to come forward, so the newest winner has until late January 2027 to claim.
