Five Match 5 big winners for the last drawing

The last drawing of the Mega Millions occurred on Tuesday, May 18. The winning numbers were 3 – 5 – 56 – 61 – 66 with a gold Mega Ball of 4. Moreover, the Megaplier was 2X. Big winners from across the country resulted by matching all five white balls.

In particular, these are the states where the winning tickets were sold:

  • California (2)
  • Delaware 
  • Ohio
  • Virginia

Notably, the Virginia winner bought the extra $1 Megaplier option, which boosted the prize to $2 million.

While the winners from Delaware and Ohio have tickets worth $1 million before taxes and withholding, the two winners from California won much less. As a reminder, prizes in CA are pari-mutuel, meaning ticket sales and the number of winners dictate the prize amounts. These two CA winners have prizes worth $183,291, far less than the million dollars posted on the Mega Millions website.
