Nearly 500,000 other tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $10 to $3 million in the drawing, the lottery said.

A lottery ticket purchased at a Palmdale gas station won its buyer more than $7 million — and it didn't even match all six winning numbers. According to the California Lottery, a player hit just five of the six winning numbers on Tuesday night's Mega Millions draw and still came away with $7.
