Someone in Florida is waking up this morning with a winning Mega Millions ticket worth $800 million, the biggest lottery prize of 2026 and the tenth largest in Mega Millions history. The jackpot had been rolling since March 17, when a ticket in Van Wert, Ohio won $60 million. Florida has no state income tax on lottery winnings, which is one reason Florida winners tend to keep more than winners in states like New York. Florida has now won or shared six Mega Millions jackpots since joining the game in 2013. The state also holds the all-time Mega Millions record, a $1.602 billion jackpot won at a Neptune Beach Publix in August 2023.
