$1.58 billion Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida

According to the Mega Millions website someone from Florida purchased a ticket with all six matching numbers – good for the top prize of up to $1.58 billion.

The top prize bumped up to nearly $1.6 billion after no one got the six matching numbers for last week’s drawing.

Below were the winning numbers for the Aug. 8 top prize:

13, 19, 20, 32, 33 and the Mega Ball number being 14.

As of 9:45 p.m. PT Tuesday, officials have not revealed the identity of the jackpot winner other than the fact that the ticket was sold in Florida.

Say, if you don’t win the top prize, don’t throw away your tickets just yet. Lottery players with multiple matching numbers can score a decent consolation prize. For example, based on the results of the Aug. 8 drawing, a ticket worth up to $3 million was sold in California and 29 other tickets sold within the state were all worth about $9,000.
