• Along with the grand prize winner, there were two tickets sold that matched all five white numbers drawn and won $1 million in the drawing. These tickets were sold in Pennsylvania and Texas.
• However, none of these players also played the Power Play option, which would have increased their winnings to $2 million.
• In Michigan, a ticket sold won $50,000 in the raffle. This was the highest award won in the state.
• 616,153 tickets sold raised at least $4 in the drawing.

The last Michigan player to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot was lottery club Breakfast Club, which won an $842 million jackpot in June 2024. The members plan to use the money to buy a home in Florida and travel.

And while they were lucky winners, it's wise for players to check their tickets immediately because a $1 million Mega Millions winner sold in Southfield in 2023 went unclaimed. The money instead went to the state's school aid fund.
