The jackpot was the eighth largest in Mega Millions history. It was the second time someone won the Mega Millions on New Year's Day.

The lucky jackpot winner was not the only person to have a great start to 2019.

One ticket in Pennsylvania won $4 million, while six others--including one in South Carolina--won $1 million.

And don't throw away your North Carolina-purchased tickets. Three people won $10,000 each.

The Mega Millions winning numbers drawn Tuesday night were: 34, 44, 57, 62, 70, and the Mega Ball was 14. The Megaplier was 4.

Friday's Mega Millions jackpot will reset and be worth $40 million.

Mega Millions jackpots start out at $40 million and roll over if there is no jackpot winner. Tickets are sold in 44 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
