Although there wasn’t a grand prize winner, one player from Georgia matched five of the white numbers to win $1 million. That player did not take advantage of the Power Play option, so they received $1 million instead of $2 million.
Two lucky players in Georgia and Texas was able to benefit from one of the Power Play features, which made the game more exciting and determined that this winner would take home $2 million too!
