The $450 million Mega Millions jackpot had a winner last night with the winning ticket sold in Port Richey, Florida. And naturally, Twitter is on the edge of its seat waiting for someone to come forward and claim the prize.
The winning numbers were 28, 30, 39, 59, 70, Mega Ball 10, and Megaplier 3. A 7-Eleven in Port Richey confirmed they'd sold a ticket with those numbers, though the lucky contestant hasn't been announced yet.
The prize is the fourth largest jackpot in the history of the Mega Millions lottery.
As of Saturday morning, it appears that the ticket hadn't yet been turned in. Various local newscasters and lottery officials were on social media urging people to check their tickets for the winning numbers and reminding them of the procedure for cashing in.
Though everyone knows the impossible odds of winning the lottery, it doesn't stop players from voicing their disappointment when their numbers aren't drawn.
Just because this game has a winner doesn't mean the lottery fervor will go away. Tonight is the drawing for the Powerball jackpot, which is up to $570 million.
