That ticket matched all five numbers but missed the Mega Ball number.
The winning numbers for last night's Mega Millions (8/4/23) were:
11-30-45-52-56 with a Mega Ball number of 20
The $1 million dollar winning ticket was sold in Suffolk County at the Bolla 2084 C-Store on the Jericho Turnpike in Commack, New York.
The good news is that even if you didn't win the $1 million dollars, there were still seven other tickets that match four numbers and the Mega Ball, and those tickets are worth $10,000.
The Mega Millions jackpot is now up to $1.55 billion dollars which is the 3rd largest lottery jackpot ever. It is also really close to becoming the second largest.
