The one lucky ticket(s) bought in CA, each won one million dollar cash by matching all 5 white ball numbers.

The chances of winning is about 1 to 14. The chances of winning Mega Millions grand prize are about 1 in 302 million. The minimum Mega Millions advertised grand prize is 40 million dollar. The annuity option is paid in 30 equal annual installments. Winners may select one lump sum cash payout option instead.
Contrary to other Mega Millions participants, all the 9 prize levels of California Mega Millions are parimutuel, as opposed to non-jackpot prize having a set amount. This results in different amounts of prize for equivalent winners sold in the state of California when compared to those sold in other 43 jurisdictons. Such as, the 2nd Mega Millions prizes is a million dollar could pay the winner over $1000,000 due to the pari-mutuel payout system of California lottery. For the same reason, California state lottery doesn't have Megaplier like other Mega Millions participants.
