The Tuesday Mega Millions jackpot was worth $432 million with a cash option of $315 million. The jackpot winner was able to match all six numbers drawn along with the gold Mega Ball.

The winning ticket was sold at Pronto Pizza on West 48th Street in midtown Manhattan, ABC 7 reports.

The jackpot winner wasn’t the only person who became an instant millionaire. A player from Connecticut hit the Match 5, winning $1 million. However, the winner did not play with the 3X Megaplier and missed out on the chance to win $3 million.

Other prizes from the night ranged between $2 and $30,000.

Since the latest Mega Millions jackpot resulted in a grand prize winner, the lottery will reset to $20 million with a cash option of $14.5 million. The next drawing takes place on Friday, Sept. 24, at 11 p.m. EDT.

Mega Millions players can receive their jackpot winnings through either a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity.

Those who select the annuity receive one immediate payment, followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year. Mega Millions can be played in 45 states as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
