Two lottery tickets, sold in Florida and Maryland, matched all six numbers in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing, and will split a $400 million jackpot.

Eight tickets, sold in California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New York and Texas, matched the first five numbers drawn Tuesday – 11, 19, 24, 33 and 51 – but not the Mega Ball of 7, and are each worth $1 million.

With Tuesday night's jackpot wins, the top prize for Friday night's Mega Millions game was reset to $15 million.

The jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing is $80 million.
