Someone who stopped at the Wawa at State Road 70 and Lorraine Road holds the winning ticket for an $800 million Mega Millions jackpot.

The Florida Lottery confirmed Wednesday, July 29, that the sole winning ticket from Tuesday, July 28's drawing was sold at that Lakewood Ranch-area store, located at 14510 State Road 70 E. in unincorporated Manatee County. No one has claimed it yet.

The jackpot is the 10th largest in Mega Millions history and the seventh won by a Florida player, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. It's also the state's biggest lottery prize since the record-setting $1.602 billion Mega Millions jackpot won at a Neptune Beach Publix in August 2023.

The winning Quick Pick ticket matched all five white-ball numbers — 34, 48, 49, 59 and 70 — plus the gold Mega Ball 12. The jackpot had rolled over 37 consecutive times across 18 weeks of twice-weekly drawings before Tuesday's hit.

The winner faces a choice: take the full $800 million as an annuity paid over decades, or accept a one-time lump sum of approximately $344.2 million before taxes. After mandatory 24% federal withholding, the cash option drops to an estimated $261.6 million.

Florida Lottery Secretary Reginald Dixon called it "an incredible, life-changing moment" in a statement Wednesday. Wawa also issued a statement calling the win "truly amazing."

The Wawa store itself stands to earn up to $100,000 in retailer compensation. Under Florida Lottery rules, that bonus starts at $20,000 and increases $5,000 per rollover, capping at $100,000. With 37 rollovers preceding Tuesday's drawing, the store hit the maximum, according to Your Observer.

Florida law does not allow lottery winners to remain anonymous, though winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or more receive a 90-day exemption from public disclosure after they claim. The winner has 180 days from the July 28 drawing to claim the prize at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee. Anyone choosing the cash option must claim within 60 days, setting a deadline of Saturday, September 26.

Since Florida joined Mega Millions in 2013, the game has generated more than $1 billion for education in the state, according to MySuncoast.

The Mega Millions jackpot has reset to $50 million for the next drawing on Friday, July 31.
