That's exactly what happened thanks to the latest Mega Millions drawing. Someone purchased a winning ticket from this Murphy USA convenience store on Highway 90-A in Sugar Land, Texas.

Tuesday night's winning numbers were 1-2-16-24-66 with a Mega Ball of 6. The winning ticket was a quick pick. I believe the winning store is also in line to get a nice sum for selling the winning ticket, but don't quote me on that.

So, Just How Much Will the Winner Get?

The jackpot was $800 million. Most winners take the lump cash sum, which in this case would be a little north of $400 million. Then, come the taxes. So, I think it would be safe to say that the winner will end up pocketing somewhere close to $250 million.

What Could $250 Million Buy?

Let's assume that $250 million is close to the take home for the winner. Here's an idea of just how much money that is.

The winner could buy a vehicle priced at $75,000 EVERY DAY FOR 9 STRAIGHT YEARS...and still have some money leftover. That's 3,333 high-priced vehicles. I guess with that kind of money you could also afford a garage big enough for all of them.

Powerball Jackpot

The Mega Millions jackpot will now go back to $20 million for the next drawing on September 13. The next Powerball drawing is coming up Wednesday night (tonight) with a jackpot of $134 million.
