Florida Publix Sells $10M Mega Millions Ticket as Jackpot Falls

A Florida Publix supermarket sold a $10 million Mega Millions ticket, though the specific store location has not been confirmed as being on the Treasure Coast, according to available information. A separate jackpot-level ticket was also sold in connection with the same drawing.

The $10 million prize represents a second-tier Mega Millions win — matching five numbers but not the Mega Ball — which is a significant payout for a lottery ticket purchased at a retail grocery store.

For Treasure Coast residents who regularly shop at Publix locations in Martin, St. Lucie, or Indian River counties, lottery officials generally recommend checking tickets purchased around the time of the drawing. Publix operates numerous stores across the three-county area, including locations in Stuart, Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, and Fort Pierce.

Florida Lottery winners of prizes above $600 must claim winnings at a Florida Lottery district office or by mail. Winners of prizes of $250,000 or more must claim in person at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee. Prize claims must be filed within 180 days of the drawing date.

The specific Publix location selling the winning ticket and the confirmed drawing date had not been independently verified at publication time.
