There will be no worldwide lottery jackpot record this time.
Two tickets have split last night's $333 million Mega Millions jackpot, one on each coast of the United States.
The winning tickets, which are now worth an estimated $166.5 million each, were purchased in San Gabriel, Calif., and the Bronx, New York.
The winning numbers were: 1, 17, 31, 37 and 54 with the Mega Ball 31. The Texas Megaplier was 4.
Also, 34 lucky players came very close to winning it all, macthing the first 5 numbers for a $250,000 prize: 6 from California, 3 from Georgia, 1 from Illinois, 1 from Maryland, 1 from Massachusetts, 2 from Michigan, 6 from New Jersey, 7 from New York, 2 from Ohio, 4 from Texas, and 1 from Washington.
The six California second-prize tickets will receive $220,778 each, because California's pari-mutuel payout system splits the available prize money by the number of winners. The fewer winners, the greater the prize.
210 players matched four of five numbers plus the Mega Ball to net a prize of $10,000. 22 of those third-prize winners were from California and will take home $16,421 each.
The jackpot for the next Mega Millions drawing, on Tuesday night, resets to $12 million.
I'm glad it's split - more wealth to spread around - and on the two coasts too!
VA didn't even get 4 out of 5 numbers. Oh, well.
Congrats to the winners! May you collect anonymously and enjoy a great life!
god bless all the mega winners
Congrats to all the winners large and small,hate that my ticket wasn't one of them;better luck next time.lol
Why is New York always hitting the Mega Millions Jackpot?
Its not always. Only two times this year
California has 4 this year. And to the person that says they hope California falls into the ocean, which state do you think is one of the biggest contributors to the increasing jackpots of the Mega Millions?
Don't take it personal, it just business.
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO WON ON THE MEGA MILLIONS DRAWING LAST NIGHT. FROM THE $333 MILLION TO THE $2 WINNER. YOU WON!!!!!
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE JACKPOT WINNERS ON THE LOTTERY CHANGED MY LIFE SHOW IN THE FUTURE.
TO THOSE OF US WHO DID NOT WIN, THERE IS ALWAYS THE NEXT DRAWING, AND THE NEXT DRAWING, AND THE NEXT DRAWING, AND THE NEXT, AND THE NEXT, AND THE NEXT, AND THE ..........................
According to Lottoreport New York bought the most tickets at $28,732,216 but California was a close second with $24,084,874 in sales. New Jersey was third with $19,576,676 in sales. These states were responsible for almost half of the $156M in MegaMillions ticket sales and they were only 3 of the 12 states selling tickets..
2+0 this drawing....I guess I'm getting better (17 & 54).
I have family in the Bronx....hope it was one of them. Then again, I'd be one of those who haven't spoken to them in years....I'd probably just leave them alone.
Congratulations to all, and hopefully we'll (I'll) win the next one.
Congratulations to the (2) two winners.
It was a nice run.....!

hello...i want to tell you a little secret....but please please dont tell anyone....i am one of the big winners.
Fja...that chart was pretty nifty. Where did you find that information?
I read on some website from New York that that person decided to take the annuity. How is it possible that they know even though the lottery office is closed until Monday?
We passed about 6 blocks from the NY location coming back from a Yankee game Weds. night.
The NY site lists the number of winners and where sold. the nj site need to do that...they only
put that information weeks later when a jackpot was won at a particular Store.
I predict there will be a jackpot winner again within 2 drawings. The bonus ball is predicted to be "10".
In New York (and Texas) players are required to make their choice at the time of purchase.
Oh ok thanks Todd.
Big up congrats to the winners.....(sob)....I guess it was not my turn yet....This time I wanna lay off for some time....God Bless all the winners...
why noone believe me,that iam one of the big winners ?
I am also glad more then one person won the jackpot. That is a lot of money and is more then enough to help out multiple people! Congrats to the winners!
Um, maybe because you live in Chicago, and the winners were in NY and California.
They're both annuity according to the printout I got at the lottery register. WOW
I would never pick annuity ever ever ever lol
i got 3 dollars :-)

Congratulations to all the winners!!!
