PASCO COUNTY, Fla. – A Publix shopper is cashing out big after they won $1 million, before taxes anyway, playing the Powerball.

The second-tier prize, purchased without the Power Play option, was sold at a Publix in Land O’ Lakes on Saturday, a town in Pasco County, the Florida Lottery confirmed Monday.

Lottery officials said that a shopper matched all five of the white ball numbers without the Powerball in Saturday’s drawing.

The winning numbers for that drawing were 6-23-25-34-51 with a Powerball of 2.

No one won the jackpot, which was estimated at $750 million.

The jackpot is now expected to grow to an estimated $800 million.

Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST. at the Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee.

According to the Florida Lottery, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
