Somebody started off the new year with a bang.
One winning jackpot ticket was sold in New York state, according to the Mega Millions website.
Here are the winning numbers in tonight's drawing:
34-44-57-62-70; Mega Ball: 14; Megaplier: 4X
The estimated jackpot for the drawing is $425 million. The cash option is about $254.6 million. If no one wins, the Mega Millions jackpot will get bigger for the next drawing.
According to the game's official website, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.
Players pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers -- five different numbers from 1 to 70 and one number from 1 to 25 -- or select Easy Pick. A player wins the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing.
Jackpot winners choose whether to receive 30 annual payments, each five percent higher than the last, or a lump-sum payment.
Mega Millions drawings are Tuesdays and Fridays and are offered in 44 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $2 each.
