# Mega Millions $800 M jackpot claim and follow-up draws > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/mega-millions-jackpot-rollovers > Updated: 2026-08-24T13:19:45.000Z. Sources: 49. Developments: 8. The Mega Millions jackpot that lingered at $800 million for four months was finally won on July 28, 2026, by a single ticket sold in Bradenton, Florida. The winning numbers were 34-48-49-59-70 with Mega Ball 12, ending a 37-38-drawing streak without a jackpot winner. The ticket was purchased at a Wawa convenience store at 14510 State Road 70 E. Under Florida law, the winner’s identity will remain confidential for 90 days. The prize can be taken as a 30-year annuity or a lump-sum cash option of $344.2 million before taxes; after the mandatory 24% federal withholding, the cash payout would be about $261.6 million, with no state tax in Florida. The jackpot ranks as the tenth-largest in Mega Millions history and among the top twenty U.S. lottery jackpots. Second-tier prizes were confirmed: a $3 million ticket sold at the Corner Market in Buffalo, New York, a $5 million ticket sold in Illinois, and a $30,000 prize in Louisiana after a 3x multiplier. In the days following the win, the Action Network released an analysis of number frequencies, identifying the number 10 as the “luckiest” based on hit-rate, followed by 17, 31, and 3. Following the major win, the August 4 drawing awarded a $60 million jackpot (14-21-51-55-65, Mega Ball 21). After a drawing on August 21 produced no top-prize winner (numbers 1-25-34-48-57, Mega Ball 24), the jackpot rose to $130 million, with a cash option of $55.5 million. ## Claims - A single Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida matched the winning numbers on July 28, 2026, winning an $800 million jackpot.
