Florida Player Wins $800 Million Mega Millions Jackpot as Experts Reveal Luckiest Numbers

A Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida matched all six numbers in the latest draw, securing an estimated $800 million prize – the 18th‑largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. The winner can choose between 30 graduated annual payments or a lump‑sum cash option of about $344.2 million, both subject to federal taxes. The winning numbers were 34, 48, 49, 59, 70, 4, 60 with the Mega number 12.

Separately, the Action Network released an analysis of the current Mega Millions game, ranking each ball by its hit‑rate rather than total draws. According to the study, the number 10 is the luckiest, hitting 30 % more often than average, followed by 17, 31, 3 and a group of numbers tied at slightly lower rates. The research aims to help players understand which numbers have the highest relative frequency, though it does not affect the odds of winning the jackpot.
