One lucky New Yorker didn't win the big jackpot, but did match enough numbers to claim a $1 million prize.
The final value based on actual sales was higher than the estimated $1.28 billion jackpot amount. It’s the second largest jackpot in the 20-year history of the Mega Millions game, topped only by the $1.537 billion prize won in October 2018 in South Carolina.
The jackpot was the nation's third-largest lottery prize. It grew so large because no one had matched the game’s six selected numbers since April 15. That’s 29 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner.
