The Texas Lottery announced that the ticket was sold at the Lakeline Express Mart on 2004 N. Lakeline Boulevard in Cedar Park. The retailer is eligible to receive a $1 million retailer bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket, which was a quick pick. The cash value option was selected at the time of purchase and the claimant will receive $157,091,592, the largest prize ever paid out to a single Texas Lottery player. The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize. "We look forward to meeting Texas' newest millionaire and we are excited to have another Mega Millions jackpot winner here in Texas," said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. "If you have the winning ticket, we encourage you to sign the ticket, put it in a safe place, seek financial and legal advice, and call the Texas Lottery before coming to Austin to claim the prize." Another ticket sold in Florida matched five numbers for a second-prize win, and because they purchased the Megaplier option, their prize is worth $4 million. Tuesday's winning numbers were 6, 14, 24, 42, and 46, with Mega Ball number 9. The Megaplier was 4. In total, 894,680 tickets won $8,749,875 in prizes across the game's eight additional prize tiers in Tuesday's drawing. The full breakdown of results and prizes, including the official drawing video, can be found on USA Mega's Mega Millions Drawing Detail for Sept. 24, 2019. The ticket sold in Texas is the 13th Mega Millions jackpot winner in Texas, and the sixth Mega Millions jackpot winner from any state in 2019. The biggest jackpot of the year, worth $522 million, was won in California and was claimed just last week. Texas joined the multijurisdictional game in 2003 and had its first Mega Millions jackpot winner in 2004 when Ut Van Nguyen of Carrollton claimed the $101 million advertised jackpot from the Oct. 1, 2004 drawing. While Tuesday's $227 million jackpot is the third-largest multi-state jackpot hit in Texas, it will be the largest prize ever to be paid out to a Texas Lottery player. On Feb. 15, 2015, TL Management Trust of Austin and two out-of-state winners won a share of the $500 million advertised Powerball jackpot prize and for the Mega Millions drawing on Aug. 31, 2007, SB Alchemy Holdings, Ltd., of Dallas, Texas shared the $330 million advertised jackpot prize with three out-of-state winners. With the jackpot being won Tuesday, the next Mega Millions annuity jackpot estimate is reset to its starting point of $40 million. Mega Millions is currently offered for sale in 44 states, plus Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 pm Eastern Time. Tickets cost $2 each. The Mega Millions winning numbers are published at USA Mega (www.usamega.com) minutes after the drawing takes place. Lottery Post Staff

New Member United States Member #76349 June 25, 2009 8 Posts Offline | You watch: with MM & PB jackpots being hit every 3 to 4 weeks lately, the greedy lottery associations will be raising the odds of both games again. Pretty soon it will be: Pick 5 out 80 and 1 out of 35. It will happen. That's when we should all boycott both, if not now already. In 2006, PB jackpot odds were 1 in 175 million. Today it is 1 in 292 million. | | |

Today it is 1 in 292 million. Today, they don't design these games so that someone can hit the jackpot at $80 or $227 million anymore. They want to see $900+ million jackpots. "Not getting enough of those? Let's alter the matrix yet again, raise the ticket price to $3, and raise the odds of hitting the jackpot from nearly impossible to absolutely impossible: Let's make it 1 in 400,000,000." | | |

Zeta Reticuli Star System United States Member #30469 January 17, 2006 11529 Posts Offline | Congratulations to the big Texas winner and Florida Guess it's easier to win in Texas & Florida Or is it population and thus ticket sales? Top three states in population; California Texas Florida https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_population Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers. | | |
