That being said, the Mega Millions corporation reports that 3,428,412 people had winning tickets at every prize level except for the big jackpot. Nobody in Georgia won the game’s second prize, which is matching the five white lottery balls. Four people were lucky enough to match the five white balls, three of those four had the “Megaplier” attached to them, meaning those winners will collect $3 million each. The other winner will pocket $1 million.
