2 tickets win Mega Millions jackpot worth $190M

May 18, 2013, 1:05 pm ET

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 Mega Ball number 41.  The Megaplier was 4.

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 and won second worth $250,000:  1 from Colorado, 1 from Iowa, 1 from Maryland, 3 from Michigan, 3 from New Jersey, 3 from New York, 2 from Pennsylvania, 1 from Texas, 1 from Washington, and 1 from Wisconsin.  The prize jumps to $1 million if the player also bought the Megaplier prize-boosting option.

That was in March, 2012, when the multi-state Mega Millions game was busy setting a record for the largest jackpot in world history.

This time it's Powerball's turn to make people stop what they're doing and line up for lottery tickets.
