"Big Winners" are tickets that matched all five of the white ball but not the mega ball. Those tickets are worth at least one million dollars. They could be worth more if the person also played the megaplier. Last night's megapiler was 2x so those "Big Winner" tickets would be worth $2 million dollars.

Overall there were 14 "Big Winners" across the country. From California to Texas, but New York has the most with four winners. The only other state to have more than one winner was California.

Overall there were millions of winners from last night's Mega Millions. Most of those winners walked away with $2 or $4, which isn't bad. A win is a win. 164 people did win $10,000 which isn't bad either. So make sure to double-check your ticket before you toss it away.
