"At least two people became multi-millionaires Tuesday night after lottery officials announced that two tickets matched the numbers for the $636 million Mega Millions jackpot,the second largest prize in U.S. lottery history. Although the winners have yet to come forward, the first ticket was sold at Jennifer&amp;#039;s Gift Shop in San Jose, CA, according to Alex Traverso, a spokesperson for the California lottery. Thuy Nguyen, the establishment&amp;#039;s owner, also gets a piece of the prize, taking home a cool million bucks for selling the winning ticket. &amp;quot;I am so happy, I feel good,&amp;quot; he told a local newspaper. Also a million dollars richer is Young Soo Lee, owner of Gateway Newsstand in Atlanta, GA, which sold the other ticket. The winning numbers were drawn at 11 P.M. EST last night and were 8, 14, 17, 20, 39 and 7 as the Mega Ball number. Mega Millions Executive Director Paula Otto said the winners will split the money and can choose to be paid over time or in a cash lump sum. This means that the winners can receive either $318 million each over time or $170 million each in cash, according to Fox News. Besides Nguyen, Lee and the jackpot winners, Tuesday&amp;#039;s drawing also resulted in several other newly-minted millionaires. Twenty tickets matched five out of the six numbers, scoring each of the winners $1 million. Adding to the jackpot joy in California, two of those tickets were also sold there. Thanks to different state rules, the tickets holders won an extra $1.6 million dollars. Otto couldn&amp;#039;t be happier with the results of last night&amp;#039;s highly anticipated results. &amp;quot;We have two jackpot winners, but the important programs supported by the 45 Mega Millions lotteries are the real winners.&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;During this 22-drawing run, the lotteries generated more than $300 million in profits for those programs.&amp;quot; Did you play the Mega Millions lottery last night?
