Winning $800 million Mega Millions ticket purchased at Texas gas station

A lucky Texan will be taking home a cool $800 million after winning the Mega Millions jackpot .

The prized ticket was purchased in a Murphy USA gas station along Highway 90A in Sugar Land, Texas. The win broke a streak of over 20 drawings without a jackpot winner.

The $800 million prize was the largest lottery jackpot prize ever won by a Texas lottery player and the 17th largest jackpot won in U.S. lottery history.

The winning numbers were 1, 2, 16, 24, 66, and the gold Mega ball 6.

“We are beyond thrilled to celebrate Texas’ largest-ever jackpot winner and can’t wait to meet and congratulate them in person,” Ryan Mindell, executive director of the Texas Lottery, said in a statement. “If you’re the lucky holder of the winning ticket, be sure to sign it, secure it in a safe place, consult financial and legal advisors and then contact the Texas Lottery before making your way to Austin to claim the prize.”

The lucky winner can claim the $800 million in annual payouts or choose the one-time cash payout of $404.2 million. But they were not the only one with a hefty payday, four other tickets matched five of the winning numbers to win $1 million prizes.

Tickets in New York, Florida, and Washington won $1 million each, while a California winner took home $605,656 because non jackpot prizes are based on actual sales in the state.

The last Mega Millions jackpot was won on June 4 when a lottery player in Illinois scored $552 million. The odds of winning the Mega Millions are 1 in 302,575,350.

The Mega Millions jackpot will now reset to $20 million for Friday night's drawing.
