💸 Nassau County Couple Wins $2 Million Mega Millions Prize — Splits Fortune Evenly

A Massapequa couple from Nassau County, New York, is celebrating a $2 million windfall after winning a tier-two prize in the April 15, 2025 Mega Millions drawing.

The lucky pair matched all five white ball numbers to secure what is normally a $1 million prize — but thanks to a 2x Megaplier, their win was doubled to $2 million.

🎟 Ticket Purchased in Seaford

• Winning ticket sold at: Manya Card and Gifts, 1250C Hicksville Rd, Seaford, NY

• Winning numbers (April 15): 06, 10, 13, 24, 63

• Mega Ball: 02

According to the New York Lottery, the couple recently claimed their prize and opted to split it evenly, with each partner receiving a lump-sum cash payout of $651,000 after taxes and withholdings.

While the couple has chosen to remain anonymous, they did not reveal how they plan to use their newfound fortune.

🔁 About the 2x Multiplier

Normally, matching all five white balls wins $1 million, but due to recent changes to Mega Millions, each play now comes with a randomly assigned Megaplier (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x). This feature allows non-jackpot prizes to grow.

“The pair was able to double the standard $1,000,000 Mega Millions second prize thanks to the individual Multiplier randomly assigned to each play at the time of purchase,” said the New York Lottery in a statement.

🤑 Jackpot Still Up for Grabs

• Latest jackpot (Aug. 1 drawing): Estimated $140 million

• Cash option: $62 million

No one won the Mega Millions jackpot in the most recent draw, and no players matched all five white balls for a tier-two prize either. The next chance to win is Friday, August 1, 2025.

🎯 Mega Millions Quick Facts:

This Massapequa couple’s win is a reminder that even non-jackpot prizes can turn into life-changing moments, especially when luck — and a Megaplier — are on your side.
