In an unprecedented moment of lottery history, a single ticket sold in the heart of Texas emerged victorious in the latest Mega Millions drawing. The numbers aligned perfectly on Friday night, revealing the winning combination of white balls: 12, 24, 46, 57, and 66, with the golden Mega Ball 22. The astounding prize of $361 million, with a cash value of $157.3 million, now rests comfortably in the hands of one fortunate Texan.
This monumental win signifies not only the largest Mega Millions jackpot ever secured in the state of Texas but also the first jackpot win for the Lone Star State since September 24, 2019. The journey to this historic win began with the jackpot rolling and growing since its last triumph, standing at $39 million, which was claimed in Florida on August 15.
The euphoria of this remarkable victory extended beyond the grand jackpot. Across all other prize tiers in the October 6 drawing, a staggering 905,170 winning tickets were secured. Among them, six tickets matched the five white balls, earning the second-tier prize. Notably, two of these tickets, sold in Michigan and New Jersey, struck gold with an additional $3 million each. Their fortune was further magnified by the optional Megaplier, set at 3X for that momentous Friday night. The remaining four Match 5 tickets secured the standard second-tier prize, and they found their new homes in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
