New Yorker Strikes Gold With Million-Dollar Mega Millions Win

One lucky New York resident just won a million dollars in the Mega Millions.

Tuesday August 13th 2024's winning numbers were 34, 55, 59, 65, 70, and the Mega Ball was 12. The Megaplier was 4X. One ticket purchased in New York matched all five numbers except for the Mega Ball worth $1 million.

Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday at 11:00PM. Five white balls are drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 70; one gold Mega Ball is drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 25. You win if the numbers on one row of your ticket match the numbers of the balls drawn on that date.

A Mega Millions ticket costs $2 per play. For an additional $1, players can add the Megaplier to potentially increase their winnings outside of the jackpot. In New York, in-store and online ticket sales are available until 10PM on the night of the draw. You can learn more online here.
