It is the fourth largest jackpot in the 21-year history of the Mega Millions and the second largest jackpot won by a single ticket.

His historic win came one day before a record setting $559 million Powerball drawing, whose lone winning ticket was sold in New Hampshire. That winner has not come forward yet.

Missler bought the winning ticket at a 7-Eleven store a in Pasco County, Florida using money he won from a scratch-off lottery ticket. 

He purchased five quick-pick Mega Millions tickets and one was the winner.

‘I’m only 20, but I hope to use it to pursue a variety of passions, help my family and do some good for humanity,’ Missler said in a statement.
