Two Mega Millions tickets worth a total of $5 million were sold at Best of Harlem in Manhattan for the August 15 drawing. One ticket was valued at $2 million, while the other was worth $3 million. Both winners matched the first five numbers and opted for the Megaplier option, which multiplies the prize amounts. The New York Lottery confirmed the sales, although it is unclear if the winning tickets were purchased by the same person. The lottery significantly contributes to the state's public education system each fiscal year.
