A second tier prize ticket, which matched all five numbers but not the megaball was sold in Connecticut and is worth a cool $1 million dollars.
The winning numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing were: 36-41-45-51-56 and the Mega Ball 13. The Megaplier was 3x.
If the winner of the top tier prize chooses to take a lump sum payment, lottery officials say that option amounts to $315 million dollars
The big win is New York’s second Mega Millions jackpot this year, following a $96 million prize won by an Oneida County couple on February 16.
You have one year from the date of the winning draw to claim your prize.
The jackpot for the next drawing on Friday, September 24, resets to its current starting value of $20 million ($14.5 million cash).
