$800 million Mega Millions jackpot won by player in Texas

The estimated $800 million Mega Millions jackpot was won in Tuesday night’s drawing, and the winning ticket was purchased in Texas.

The winning numbers drawn on Tuesday were 1, 2, 16, 24, and 66, with a gold Mega ball of 6. The Megaplier was 4X.

The grand prize in Tuesday’s drawing was the seventh-largest prize in the game’s history.

In addition to the jackpot, four players in California, Florida, New York, and Washington state matched all five white balls to win $1 million.

The estimated $800 million grand prize carries a one-time cash payout option of $404.2 million.

The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 302,575,350, according to megamillions.com.
