Although the grand prize winner walked away with a historic win, another player took home a notable prize.

A ticket-holder from New Jersey hit the Match 5, initially winning $1 million. However, since the player purchased the Megaplier, they increased their price to $4 million.

Additionally, 24 players across the country won $10,000 by hitting the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball. However, five of those players matched four numbers plus the Mega Ball with the Megaplier, increasing their win to a $40,000 prize.

The rest of the wins from the night ranged between $2 and $2,000.

The first Mega Millions jackpot of 2023 was won on Jan. 13 when a player from Maine won the $1.348 billion grand prize. Since then, the jackpot was hit three more times.

Following the Tuesday night win, the jackpot will reset to $20 million with a $10.6 million cash option. The next jackpot drawing will be held on Friday evening.

The odds of winning Mega Millions is a 302.5 million to 1 chance.
