Though a lucky ticket-holder in New Jersey matched all six numbers in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing to take home the $1.13 billion jackpot — the fifth-largest in the game’s history — two $1 million-winning tickets were sold in Florida.

The five white balls drawn were 7, 11, 22, 29, and 38, and the gold Mega Ball 4 was also pulled.

Thirteen tickets matched the five white balls — but not the Mega Ball — to win the game’s second-tier prize, according to a news release.

One, sold in New York, is worth $2 million because it included the optional Megaplier, which costs an extra $1 at purchase, which was 2X Tuesday night.

The other second-tier prizes of $1 million each were won in California, Colorado, Florida (two sold), Georgia (two sold), Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York (two sold) and Ohio. Florida’s $1 million tickets were sold at a Murphy USA gas station in Crawfordville and a Publix in Jacksonville, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
