According to the Florida Lottery, the winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at a Publix in Jacksonville. Lottery officials said the winner matched all five numbers (18-39-42-57-36) and the Mega Ball (7).

Last Thursday’s major Mega Millions prize-winning ticket was also sold at a Publix in Neptune Beach.

The store will get a $25,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

If this is your winning ticket, you have 180 days from the draw date on Aug. 16 to claim your prize. To choose the one-time, lump-sum payment ($17.4 million) however, you have 60 days.
