Each one of these tickets matched four out of five numbers and also had the Mega Ball. Three of the tickets won the 3rd place prize of $10,000. Two other tickets also had the Megaplier, which was 4x the prize amount, which means they took home $40,000.

Friday's winning Mega Millions numbers were: 4-11-23-33-40 with a Mega Ball of 23.

No one claimed the grand prize jackpot, so Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing is now worth $560 million dollars which would be the largest single jackpot ever won in New York State.

Here is a look at the current list of the largest lottery jackpots ever won in New York State.
