At least two people have become over-night millionaires after lottery officials confirm that two winning tickets for the $400million Mega Millions jackpot were sold in Maryland and Florida.
The numbers drawn Tuesday night March 18,2014 were: 11, 19, 24, 33 and 51 with a Mega Ball of 7.
The jackpot is the sixth-largest lottery prize in U.S. history
The tickets with all five matching numbers, plus the multiplier, are entitled to the jackpot which they can redeem in two ways
The first is through an annuity program with one immediate payment, following by annual payments for the next 29 years that increase 5 per cent with each payment
The increased payments were designed to cover the annual increase in cost of living so that winners 'lifestyle and purchasing power' would remain the same through their lifetime.
