Mega Millions player in Florida wins historic $1.58 billion jackpot

NEW CASTLE (KDKA) - While it wasn't the massive, billion-and-a-half-dollar jackpot, one Pennsylvanian is a million dollars richer this morning.

Zain Mini Mart on East Washington Street in New Castle old a ticket that matched all five of the white balls drawn - 13-19-20-32-33, but not the yellow Mega Ball, 14, making it a $1 million-winning ticket.

Because they sold a $1 million-winning ticket, Zain will receive a $5,000 bonus from the Pennsylvania Lottery.

The winner will be known once the prize is claimed and winners have one year from winning to claim their prize.

A ticket was sold in Florida that matched all five numbers as well as the Mega Ball, winning the $1.57 billion jackpot.
