Despite this, there were two second prize winners found, one of whom purchased their ticket in California, while the other was bought in Ohio.Both of these winners took home over $1 million in prize funds, while California lottery representatives have reported that their local winner will take home $1.2 million before taxes and fees. This ticket was sold in Long Beach, and matched all of the five main numbers 32, 59, 35, 2 and 50, missing just the Mega Ball which this weekend was 3.California lottery officials confirmed that this ticket was worth an estimated $1,263,024, and that the store that sold the winning ticket in Long Beach, Albertson's Supermarket, will receive a bonus prize worth $6,000.
