Did you play Mega Millions for New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31, 2024) & buy a ticket at Publix in Parrish, Florida? It’s worth $1 million & expires in 6 months

Mega Millions tickets sold in Florida, Minnesota and New Jersey won $1 million, just missing the $20 million jackpot, lottery officials said. The tickets matched five winning numbers, but not the Mega Ball, in the drawing Tuesday, Dec. 31, the national Mega Millions site said.

There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Friday's drawing to $42 million.
