    While the only winning ticket in Friday's $1.28 billion Mega Millions jackpot was sold in Illinois, we have a big winner in Osceola County.

    A ticket with the winning white ball numbers -- 13-36-45-57-67 -- was sold at the Publix at Pleasant Hill Commons (John Young Parkway and Pleasant Hill Road) for Friday's drawing.

    Hitting all five white ball numbers without the Mega Ball (14) pays $1 million, but this ticket, like others bought in Palm Harbor and DeFuniak Springs, also included the $2 "Megaplier Bonus" that doubled it. Two other tickets that did not have the multiplier were sold in Jensen Beach and Sebring. All five of those winnings tickets were random Quick Picks.

    So, Kissimmee residents, ask your neighbors: "Are you a multi-millionaire?"

    Per the Florida Lottery, the seller receives a $10,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
