Other than the lone millionaire, there were some smaller prizes that were also paid out in Friday night’s Mega Millions draw.

There were 12 players who were able to hit the Match 4, along with the gold Mega Ball, which means that each of them won $10,000.

But, there was only 1 of these 12 players who opted to play the 2X Megaplier, so they were able to see their winnings double to $20,000.

The other winnings in the Mega Millions draw were between $2 and $1,000.

Unclaimed prize

The cash option of the huge prize is around 780.5 million and the ticket had been purchased in Des Plaines, Illinois.

While winners have a time of 12 months for claiming the prize, they have less time to decide whether they want to go for an annuity or choose the lump sum option.

Winners are given 60 days after the date of the draw to make this decision, which means that the lucky ticket holder has till the end of this month to come forward, or else they will have to accept the annuity option.

Players who receive the annuity only receive one payment immediately and are then given 29 annual payments, with each increasing by 5%.
