There was one winning ticket sold in New York for the New Year’s Day drawing, according to the Mega Millions website. Seven other players won at least $1 million after matching all but the Mega Ball. The winning numbers were 34, 44, 57, 62, 70 and Mega Ball 14.
The $425 million jackpot was the eighth largest in its history and just the fifth drawing on New Year’s Day. The lucky winner has a cash option of $254.6 million. A winner has claimed the jackpot on New Year’s Day only once before, in 2008.
