Officials said the winning Quick Pick ticket with Megaplier matched all five of the white ball numbers but did not match the Mega Ball number.
Corriolan purchased his winning ticket at an A&M Discount Beverage store in Palm Beach Gardens.
The business will receive a $5,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
“Since joining MEGA MILLIONS in 2013, the game has generated more than $938.7 million for education and has awarded more than $835 million in prizes to 67.7 million players,” Lottery officials said in a news release.
The next Mega Millions drawing will be held at 11 p.m. Tuesday with an estimated $302 million jackpot.
Jean Corriolan of #RivieraBeach spent $2 bucks on a MEGA MILLIONS Quick Pick ticket and would have won $1 million bucks, but since he threw in an extra dollar on the Megaplier add-on feature, he won $4 million! Way to stretch a dollar! $2+$1=$4 million! https://t.co/YFvalUumpE pic.twitter.com/SX7j4pPND1
