CLEVELAND — We have another big winner!
One lucky ticket sold in Massachusetts just hit the $31 million jackpot in the Mega Millions lottery drawing on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023. This is the second time in recent weeks that the Mega Millions jackpot has been hit in that state.
There was also a $4 million winner in New Jersey, which means that player matched all five numbers with the Megaplier -- only missing the jackpot for failing to match the Mega Ball.
Although nobody hit one of the top-tier amounts locally, the Ohio Lottery says there were still thousands of other winning tickets that hit smaller prizes throughout the state.
Here's a list of prizes sold in Ohio...
