A winner has been found for the estimated $1.22 billion Mega Millions jackpot, which was sold in California on Friday night. The winning ticket matched the numbers 3, 7, 37, 49, and 55, as well as the gold Mega Ball 6.
The last time a player won the top prize was in September 2022. Despite long odds of 1 in 302.6 million, players continued to buy tickets as the jackpot grew. The winner can choose between an annuity paid over 29 years or a cash payout of approximately $549.7 million.
The California Lottery reported that the winning ticket was sold at Circle K on Rhonda Road in Cottonwood. No information has been released about the identity of the winner yet.
