In addition to the jackpot-winning ticket, there were plenty of other big winners in the June 9 Mega Millions drawing. Four of the Match 5 winning tickets are worth $2 million each because they included the optional Megaplier, which was 2X Tuesday night.

Two were sold in New York and one each in Mississippi and South Carolina. The Mississippi Lottery is the country’s newest lottery, and this marks its first big Mega Millions prize!

A single ticket sold in Arizona matched all six numbers drawn – the white balls 1, 5, 9, 10 and 23, plus the gold Mega Ball 22.

The lucky ticket-holder wins the estimated $410 million jackpot ($316.8 million cash).

The jackpot had been rolling since it was last won in New Jersey on February 11. During this run, there were more than 17.6 million winning tickets sold, including the jackpot winner and 46 other tickets with prize values of $1 million or more.

The jackpot for the next drawing on Friday, June 12, resets to its current starting value of $20 million ($15.4 million cash).
