The winning ticket was purchased at the Ventura Chevron station located at 8945 Telegraph Road. The winning numbers for the Tuesday, January 17th drawing were 2, 8, 12, 18, and 23, with the Mega Ball number being 5. Only one ticket matched all six numbers, and the winning prize was the sole jackpot winner. The identity of the winner has not yet been revealed, but California Lottery officials confirmed that the ticket was purchased in the Ventura area. The winner now has the option to receive their winnings as a lump sum payment of $69 million or as annual payments over the course of 30 years. “This is an incredible moment for the winner and for the entire Ventura community,” said California Lottery spokesperson Veronica Huerta. “We are thrilled that the jackpot has been claimed, and we wish the winner all the best as they begin this exciting new chapter in their life.” The Ventura Chevron station where the winning ticket was purchased is also experiencing a surge of excitement and pride. “We are so happy for the winner and are proud to have been a part of this historic moment,” said station manager Mike Patel. “We hope that this win brings joy and prosperity to the community.” This is the second Mega Millions jackpot win in California in less than a year. In July 2022, a San Jose resident won a $530 million jackpot. With this latest win, California has now claimed 14 Mega Millions jackpots, more than any other state.
