Mega Millions player wins big in Florida. Where was the winning ticket sold?

A Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida won $1 million, narrowly missing out on the estimated $67 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers in the drawing Friday, April 5, but not the Mega Ball, the Florida Lottery said.

Nobody won the grand prize, which will rise to an estimated $97 million, with a cash option of approximately $45 million, for the next drawing Tuesday, April 9, the national Mega Millions site said.

The winning numbers were 20, 30, 54, 63 and 65, with a Mega Ball of 14.

The $1 million winning Florida ticket was sold at a Publix located at 8160 Wiles Road in Coral Springs, WFLA and WOFL reported.

More than 55,000 other tickets sold in Florida also won prizes ranging from $2 to $1,500 in the drawing, the lottery said.

Mega Millions tickets sold in California, Tennessee and Pennsylvania also matched five white numbers to win.
