The winning ticket to the $2-million Mega Money drawing was sold at a Rally mart in Dunedin, lottery officials announced Saturday.

The winning ticket was sold at the Rally Quick Pick, 1625 Main St. Lottery officials did not identify a winner.

The winning numbers in the Friday drawing were 13, 16, 26 and 41. The Megaball was 04. The winner matched all four numbers plus the Megaball.

More than 112,000 other players won prizes ranging from a free lottery ticket to $2,999.50. The next Mega Money drawing will be Tuesday, with a jackpot of $500,000.

MIAMI

Woman accused of bigamy with 10

The honeymoon is over for a 26-year-old woman who was married at least 10 times.

Eunice Lopez was charged with bigamy after federal immigration authorities discovered she had married 10 men between 2002 and 2006 without divorcing any of them. The Miami Herald reported Saturday that a records search by the newspaper found seven additional marriages under the bride's name and birth date.

"I can tell you that none of the individuals she married had any type of residency," said Terry Chavez, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office. Lopez arrived in South Florida from Cuba in 2002 and was a legal U.S. resident. Prosecutors say she charged her husbands an unspecified amount to help them secure immigration status and continued asking the men for money long after the wedding, threatening to expose them if they didn't pay.

TAMPA

Two bags of money swiped from Publix

Two gunmen with T-shirts wrapped around their faces stole two bags of money from a Publix grocery store on Waters Avenue about 9 a.m. Saturday, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. The men followed an Armor truck employee into the store at 7018 Waters Ave. as he was making a delivery of money. A manager brought the Armor employee to a safe, where the men pushed the manager to the side, grabbed the bags and ran out of the store, sheriff's officials said. No one was injured.

Correction

Clouster Bryant II, 43, was the Pinellas County sheriff's deputy who died last month of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. A Nov. 30 story misidentified him.
