$2M Mega Millions Prize Won In FL As Jackpot Soars To $672M

A lottery player in Florida has secured $2 million in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing.

The winner matched the five white ball numbers of 2, 4, 10, 48 and 56. The 4x Megaplier ballooned the prize to $4 million.

There was also a $4 million winner in Georgia and a $3 million winner in New Jersey, according to results.

However, no one hit the $637 million jackpot, skyrocketing the massive prize to $672 million with a cash option of $293.3 million for Friday's drawing.

The last time a Florida player won the Mega Millions jackpot was on Aug. 15, 2023.

A ticket bought in Jacksonville was worth $39 million with a cash option of $18.9 million. The money went unclaimed.

Mega Millions tickets are $5 each, with a built-in multiplier feature added in April 2025 that automatically increases non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times.

Previously, the base ticket was $2, and the multiplier was an optional $1 add-on in most states.

The Powerball is the next major game in the lottery line with a drawing held at 11 p.m. Wednesday. The jackpot is $498 million.

There were no huge winners in Monday's Powerball drawing, according to results.
