At Least Two Win Big In Massive Mega Millions Drawing

After 21 draws without a single jackpot winner, at least two winning Mega Millions tickets were sold in the $646 million drawing.

One of the lucky winners bought a ticket at a gift shop in San Jose, California, and the other was purchased at a newsstand in Atlanta, Georgia, according to USA Today.

The winning numbers ended up being 8, 14, 17, 20 and 39 with a Megaball of 7, and the odds of claiming the big prize ended up being 1 in 259 million. (Via Mega Millions)

CNN reports 20 players will win $1 million after matching all the numbers except the Megaball. It's no $300 million, but at least it's something!

According to the Mega Millions lead director, a lot of people tried their luck for Tuesday's drawing.

Those strong sales helped push the jackpot to $636 million from the previous estimate of $586 million by Tuesday morning.

That's dangerously close to the U.S. record, which is currently held by a $656 million Mega Millions jackpot split by three winners in March 2012. (Via WFXT)

For those looking to try again, the jackpot will reset to $15 million for the first drawing on Friday night.
