Nashville, TN, July 29, 2026 —

A single winning ticket for the Mega Millions jackpot, valued at $800 million, was sold in Florida. This significant win occurred after a streak of 38 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner.

The $800 million prize represents the largest Mega Millions jackpot won in 2026 to date. The previous drawings had built up the substantial prize amount without a match for the top prize.

The odds of matching all six numbers to secure the Mega Millions jackpot are estimated to be approximately 1 in 290 million. This makes winning the grand prize a rare occurrence for players.

The exact location within Florida where the winning ticket was purchased has not been specified. Further details regarding the winner or the retailer that sold the ticket are expected to be released as they become available.
