It has been rolling for more than 11 weeks, but on Tuesday night the Mega Millions jackpot was finally won! A single ticket sold in California matched all six numbers drawn on July 24 -- the white balls 1, 2, 4, 19 and 29, plus the gold Mega Ball 20 -- to lay claim to the estimated $522 million prize ($308.1 million cash). The ticket was purchased at Ernie's Liquors in San Jose, Calif.
