More top-prize winning Florida lottery tickets have been sold here more than anywhere else this month

$1.58 billion Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida

A lucky lottery player in Florida hit the jackpot after purchasing a winning Mega Millions ticket worth an estimated $1.58 billion, officials said. The single ticket, which was sold a Publix grocery store in Neptune Beach – a city east of Jacksonville – matched all five numbers, plus the mega ball in Tuesday's drawing to win the largest prize in the game's history.

FLORIDA - Floridians have a new reason to love Publix – it's one of the luckiest stores in the state.

Eight out of 12 top-prize winning lottery tickets have been sold at Publix locations across Florida so far in August, according to the Florida Lottery.

If that's not lucky enough, another jackpot-winning Mega Millions ticket was sold at a Publix this week – in the same county as the monster $1.58 billion jackpot that was sold at Publix last week.
