UPDATED
A lucky ticket-holder in the Sunshine State will be celebrating the summer in style with a big Mega Millions® jackpot win! The July 28 drawing produced a single jackpot-winning ticket in Florida, worth $803 million ($345.5 million cash). The winning numbers were the white balls 34, 48, 49, 59 and 70, plus the gold Mega Ball 12. It’s just the third Mega Millions jackpot win of 2026, and the tenth largest jackpot in the game’s history. The final jackpot amount is a bit higher than the estimated value, as it is based on actual sales.
Florida also holds the game’s record jackpot of $1.602 billion, won almost exactly three years ago on August 8, 2023. Since joining the game in 2013, Florida has now won or shared a total of six Mega Millions jackpots.
Over the 38 drawings since the jackpot was last won in Ohio on March 17, there were nearly 10.9 million winning tickets sold and total non-jackpot prizes of more than $273 million. They included 18 second-tier prizes ranging from $2 million to $5 million, won in 10 different states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
Also during this run, there were 263 third-tier prizes ranging from $20,000 to $100,000, won in 38 different states across the country (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin).
In the July 28 drawing alone, there were a total of 645,993 winning tickets at all prize levels, plus the single jackpot-winning ticket. Two tickets matched all five white balls to win the game’s second-tier prize. One, sold in New York, included the 3X multiplier and is worth $3 million. The other, sold in Illinois, is worth $5 million with its 5X multiplier.
Fifteen tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the game’s third-tier prize: seven at $20,000 (two in Florida and one each in California, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Washington and Wisconsin); five at $30,000 (Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey and Washington); two at $40,000 (New York and Wisconsin); and one at $50,000 (New Jersey).

Note: Prize amounts in California will vary, as they are calculated on a pari-mutuel basis.
Only two other jackpots have been won so far in 2026 – the March 17 Ohio prize of $60 million and a $536 million jackpot won in Illinois on March 10.
The jackpot for the next drawing on Friday, July 31, resets to its starting value of $50 million ($21.5 million cash).
