Two lucky folks in Florida are feeling over the moon right now! They just hit the jackpot, each winning a cool $1 million in the latest Mega Millions draw. Although they missed out on the Megaball, matching five numbers is still cause for celebration.
The winning numbers in the draw were 11, 17, 33, 39, and 43, with the Megaball being 14. What’s more, the Megaplier was at 4X, sweetening the pot for these fortunate winners.
One of the winning tickets was snagged at Presidente Supermarket on 2199 Northwest 36th Street in Miami. It was a quick pick ticket, adding an extra thrill to the win. The other lucky ticket was sold at the Circle K on 101 Buena Ventura Boulevard in Kissimmee.
While the odds of hitting the Mega Millions jackpot might seem like a long shot, with a 1 in 302.6 million chance, that didn’t deter these lucky players. The allure of the big prize draws in participants from all over, with tickets available for just $2 each in 45 states, plus Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
With the next draw boasting an estimated jackpot of $228 million, excitement is building as hopeful players eagerly await their shot at striking it rich in the upcoming Mega Millions draw this Friday.
