Two Winners in $400M Mega Millions Draw

Unless you bought your Mega Millions ticket in Florida or Maryland, however, you are sadly not $400 million richer.

Unless you bought your Mega Millions ticket in Florida or Maryland, you are sadly not $400 million richer.

Two tickets matched the winning numbers in Tuesday night's drawing, and will split the prize, which grew to $414 million thanks to brisk ticket sales. Those tickets were sold in Maryland and Florida, but winners have not yet come forward, Mega Millions officials said.

Eight tickets matched all five numbers but not the Mega ball. Those tickets are worth $1 million.

There had not been a jackpot winner since Jan. 3, and the prize money had been growing with every drawing.

The largest Mega Millions jackpot was $656 million, and was split between three winning tickets in March 2012.

Mega Millions, a multi-state lottery game, is drawn on Tuesday and Friday nights.
