A Largo woman is celebrating a huge win after claiming a $4 million prize from the MEGA MILLIONS® lottery game.
Reana Mahaney, 60, purchased her winning ticket for the June 11th drawing at a Publix supermarket on Ulmerton Road in Largo. Her ticket matched all five white ball numbers, just missing the Mega Ball to win the jackpot. However, thanks to the Megaplier®, her prize was quadrupled to $4 million!

Mahaney claimed her prize at Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. The Publix where she purchased the ticket received a $5,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
Since Florida joined MEGA MILLIONS in 2013, the game has generated over $1.24 billion for education and awarded $1.9 billion in prizes to lucky players.
