Susan Fitton, 64, bought her two Mega Millions tickets at the Prip Mart in Boca Raton for the September 14 drawing, reports NBC-2 in Florida.

While her numbers didn’t match the Mega Ball, Fitton's tickets did match all five of the white ball numbers, giving her a major payout. The store who sold her the two winning tickets will get a $10,000 commission.

Mega Millions has generated more than 761 million for education since 2013, lottery officials said. The next Mega Millions drawing will be held Tuesday, October 5 with a top prize of $45 million.

This week, one of the largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history was won, with a single ticket hitting all six numbers in Monday's Powerball drawing. The winner, who has not been announced, won $699.8 million with the numbers 12, 22, 54, 66 and 69 and a Powerball number of 15.

The seventh-largest Powerball jackpot in history was hit after 40 drawings without a big winner, reports USA Today.
