SUGAR LAND, Texas (KTRK) – A lucky Sugar Land man will wake up richer on Wednesday… $800 million richer!

The winning Mega Millions ticket was sold at the Murphy USA gas station on Highway 90A, directly across from Constellation Field in Sugar Land.

The $800 million win is the fifteenth Mega Millions jackpot won in Texas since December 2003 and the seventh-largest jackpot in the game’s history.

“What do you think your chances are?” an ABC13 photojournalist asked a shopper in the store Wednesday morning.

“Things have improved a lot here. I’ll get them when I stop for gas in the morning,” said Lucell Hopes.

And what would Hopes do with the money?

“Man, I would be doing a lot. Paying all my bills and providing for my family,” he told ABC13.

The big winner opted for the one-time payment of just over $404 million before taxes.

You have 180 days to claim the prize.

The winning ticket had all the number sizes from Tuesday’s drawing – 1, 2, 16, 24, 66 and Mega Ball 6.

Be sure to always check your tickets because there are more prizes to be won! According to Mega Millions, four tickets correctly guessed the five white balls to win the game’s second prize of $1 million.

The Mega Millions jackpot will now reset to $20 million and the next drawing will be this Friday.

Interesting fact: Seven Mega Millions jackpots were won on a Friday the 13th.
