According to a news release, the winning Quick Pick ticket with Megaplier® matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn (4-24-34-45-57), but not the Mega Ball number (19). The Megaplier number was 3.
To win the Mega Millions jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn including the Mega Ball. Players matching fewer numbers may not win the jackpot but could still walk away winners.
