A single ticket sold in Texas claimed the $810-million Mega Millions jackpot, marking the second-biggest prize for that lottery this year and the largest ever won by a Texas player.
The winning numbers of 1, 2, 16, 24, 66 and 6 were clinched on a quick pick entry sold at a Murphy USA gas station in Sugar Land, Texas.
The jackpot grew since the previous win on June 4 and rolled over 27 times, with Californians contributing $167 million in sales to this record jackpot.
California public schools benefited from the lottery, taking home $66.8 million from sales related to this jackpot, with roughly 40% of sales returning to schools.
