JENSEN BEACH, FL- A Cumberland Farms customer on the Treasure Coast is getting a share of Friday’s $1 billion Mega Millions drawing.
A ticket sold at the Savannah Road store matched 5 numbers which makes the buyer a million dollars richer.
They are one of five newly minted millionaires from Friday’s game.
Another million dollar ticket was bought in Sebring and three others worth $2 million were sold in Defuniak Springs, Palm Harbor, and Kissimmee.
Those tickets hit 5 numbers plus the “Mega Ball Multiplier” which doubled the payout.
The big winner of over $1 billion bought their ticket in Illinois.
It was the third largest jackpot in the game’s history.
