A Mega Millions jackpot advertised at $190 million has been won by two tickets, one sold in New Jersey, the other in Virginia.
They matched all the numbers drawn Friday night: 11, 15, 35, 43 and 49, with a Mega Ball of 41.
Winners usually take the cash payout, which in this case would be $70 million each. Before taxes, of course.
Seventeen tickets missed only the Mega Ball. The two sold in Pennsylvania are worth $250,000 each, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery's website. Jersey sold three, worth at least $250,000. The prize jumps to $1 million if the player also bought the Megaplier prize-boosting option. New York and Michigan also sold three each, while Maryland, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, Texas and Washington each sold one.
New Jersey already hit two major jackpots this year. In March, Pedro Quezada of Passiac won a Powerball jackpot with a $338 million annuity. In January, Angel Guallpa-Mayancela of Orange won a Mega Millions jackpot advertised as worth $89 million.
Illinois hit a $50 million jackpot this March, as well as part of that record Mega Millions jackpot in March 2012.
