Mega Millions player wins $1 million prize in Florida. Where was the lucky ticket sold?

A Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida just missed the $113 million jackpot but won $1 million, lottery officials said.

The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Mega Ball in the drawing Friday, Jan. 17, the Florida Lottery said.

The winning ticket was sold at a Publix in Lehigh Acres, about a 140-mile drive northwest from Miami.

A ticket sold in Arizona hit the $113 million jackpot.

The grand prize now drops to an estimated $20 million, with a cash option of approximately $8.9 million, for the next drawing Tuesday, Jan. 21, the national Mega Millions site said.

The winning numbers were 8, 10, 37, 54 and 69 with a Mega Ball of 22, the lottery said. The Megaplier multiplier was 3x.

More than 450,000 other tickets sold in the United States won prizes ranging from $2 to $30,000 in the drawing, the lottery said.

The Mega Millions jackpot had last been hit Dec. 27, when a California player won the nearly $1.3 billion grand prize, lottery officials said.
