Florida Mega Millions Ticket Wins $4 Million A Mega Millions ticket purchased in Plantation, Florida, has won $4 million after matching five numbers in the March 6 drawing. The ticket, sold at a Liquor and Wine Merchant on west Sunrise Boulevard, was eligible for the 4x multiplier, which significantly boosted the prize. While the jackpot for that drawing remained unclaimed at $496 million, the Florida winner is among two other prize recipients, including an Arizona ticket worth $2 million with a 2x multiplier. The winning numbers for the March 6 drawing were 8, 19, 26, 38, and 42. Although the jackpot was not claimed, the Florida ticket’s prize of $4 million highlights the potential for substantial wins even without matching all six numbers. The ticket was a quick pick, meaning the numbers were randomly generated by the lottery system. Plantation, located in South Florida, is approximately 7 miles west of Fort Lauderdale and 40 miles south of West Palm Beach. The Florida Lottery’s website confirmed the ticket’s sale location and noted that the winner must claim the prize within 180 days of the drawing date. This win marks the latest in a series of unclaimed Mega Millions jackpots in Florida. The last time a Florida ticket won the jackpot was in August 2023, when a Publix in Jacksonville sold a $36 million winner that expired without a claim. Just a week earlier, a Publix in Neptune Beach had sold a $1.58 billion jackpot ticket, which was claimed as a cash option worth $794 million. The current Mega Millions jackpot for the next drawing is estimated at $533 million, with a cash option of $244.2 million. The next drawing is scheduled for March 10 at 11 p.m. ET. Mega Millions tickets cost $5, a price increase from $2 in April 2025. Drawings occur every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET.#fort_lauderdale #florida #mega_millions #plantation #liquor_and_wine_merchant
