MERRITT ISLAND, Florida -- One of two winning tickets for the $400 million
MEGA MILLIONS jackpot ($224 million cash value) was a Quick Pick sold
at the Sunoco gas station located at 600 S. Courtney Parkway on Merritt
Island, Florida, Lottery officials reported early this morning. The
other winning ticket was sold in Maryland.
The Florida retailer will receive a $100,000 bonus commission.
The two winning jackpot states bookend Mega Millions history. Florida is the newest member of the Mega Millions group, having joined the game last May, and this is the state’s first jackpot winner. In contrast, Maryland is one of the game’s founding members, and previous jackpot wins in that state include a one-third share of the largest Mega Millions jackpot in history, $656 million.
The
jackpot prize will be shared between the two winners.
The jackpot will be paid in 30 graduated annual payments or a one-time
cash payment of a reduced amount.
The MEGA MILLIONS winning numbers for Tuesday, March 18, 2014 are:
11 19 24 33 51 MB 7 Megaplier 3X
11 19 24 33 51 MB 7 Megaplier 3X
Because
the prize exceeds more than $1 million, the winning Merritt Island
ticket must be claimed at Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee, Florida.
