What would you do with $800 million? That’s the question that the latest Mega Millions lottery winner is asking themselves right now after hitting the jackpot at a gas station outside Houston, breaking a streak of over 20 drawings without a winner.
According to the state lottery, 1, 2, 16, 24, 66, and the gold Mega Ball 6 were the lucky numbers selected in the ticket purchased at Murphy USA 8848 gas station located on Highway 90A in Sugar Island, Texas.
One of the first decisions the winner has to make is whether to claim the entire prize in annual payouts or choose a one-time deposit of almost half the total amount, $404.2 million.
