In Florida, luck smiled upon an individual who clinched a massive $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpot on Tuesday night, putting an end to a prolonged period of lottery disappointments that had persisted for almost four months.

The winning combination drawn consisted of the numbers 13, 19, 20, 32, 33, and the pivotal yellow ball: 14.

Prior to this significant victory on Tuesday night, an astonishing 31 consecutive draws had taken place since the last jackpot winner emerged on April 18. This extended series of no-win outcomes allowed the prize amount to steadily balloon, eventually reaching the third-largest sum in the history of U.S. lotteries.

Mega Millions jackpots are exceedingly rare due to incredibly slim odds of just one in 302.6 million.

The grand payout of $1.58 billion is attainable if the winner opts for a structured annuity payment plan spread out over a span of 30 years. However, most individuals choose the lump sum alternative, which, in the case of Tuesday's jackpot, equates to an estimated $783.3 million.

It's important to note that the prize money is subject to federal taxation, and numerous states additionally impose taxes on lottery winnings.

Mega Millions is a widely played game available in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
