Lottery winner in Sugar Land has 800 million reasons to celebrate

One Mega Millions ticket bought at the Sugar Land Murphy USA gas station is worth $800 million.

The winning ticket in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing was sold at the Murphy USA gas station off Highway 90A, across from Constellation Field in Sugar Land.

The $800 million prize is the fifteenth Mega Millions jackpot won in Texas since December 2003 and the seventh largest jackpot in the game’s history.

The person who bought the ticket chose the lump sum option of a little more than $404 million before taxes.

They have 180 days to claim the prize.

The winning ticket matched all siz numbers in Tuesday’s drawing — 1, 2, 16, 24, 66 plus Mega Ball 6.

The Mega Millions jackpot now resets to $20 million and the next drawing is this Friday.

Seven Mega Millions jackpots have been won on a Friday the 13th.
