“Big Money” Winning Mega Millions Tickets Sold In New York

Friday's Mega Millions drawing was lucky for a couple of lottery players in New York State.

The New York State Lottery announced that there were two "Big Money" winning tickets sold in New York from Friday's Mega Millions drawing.

Both tickets matched four out of five numbers and also had the Mega Ball to win the 3rd place prize of $10,000. One of those tickets also had the megaplier which was double the prize amount which means it won $20,000.

Friday's winning Mega Millions were: 3-29-34-37-38 with a Mega Ball of 17.

No one claimed the grand prize, so Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot is up to $514 million dollars.

That jackpot would set a new record if someone in New York State were to win it as the largest lottery jackpot ever won.
