For those who may not be familiar, the “Mega Millions” game is a multi-state lottery game played in 45 states, as well as Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game offers players the chance to win life-changing jackpots by correctly matching all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball. And with the addition of the Megaplier option, players have the opportunity to multiply their non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.
As the clock struck 11 PM on Tuesday, all eyes were on the drawing to see if anyone would become an instant millionaire. And as the winning numbers were revealed one by one, the excitement grew.

And just like that, someone’s life was about to change forever.
The winning ticket was sold in the state of California, but the identity of the lucky winner has yet to be announced. As per the rules of the game, the winner has one year to claim their prize and will have the option of receiving the full jackpot amount in annual installments or a lump sum payment. Either way, it’s safe to say that this person’s life will never be the same again.
But it’s not just the grand prize winner who can celebrate. There were a total of 1,027,113 winning tickets sold for Tuesday’s drawing, with prizes ranging from $2 to $1 million.
