Fortune came to a shopper at a 7-Eleven store in San Jose after it sold him a California Lottery ticket for Friday's Mega Millions drawing, which won $247 million after matching the five numbers plus the Mega number.
The ticket was purchased at the store at 1413 Kooser Road in San Jose and had the winning numbers 9, 22, 26, 41, 44 and Mega number 19.
The $494 million jackpot, to be split between the winning San Jose ticket and another ticket purchased in Florida, is the 11th-largest jackpot in the game's history.
According to officials, an additional 142,500 winning tickets were purchased in California at different prize levels.
Winning Mega Millions jackpot tickets must be postmarked or received at California Lottery offices within one year from the drawing date. No information was immediately available on the winner of the $247 million ticket.
