Two people are waking up today with their checking account much fatter.
The two, from Washington and Idaho, will be sharing Mega Millions' $355 million jackpot from Tuesday night's drawing, lottery officials said today.
They will each get $177.5 million.
The $355 million jackpot was the fourth largest in the history of the United States and the second largest in the history of Mega Millions.
The lottery prize of $390 million in March 2007 remains the largest in U.S. history.
One winning ticket was bought at a Safeway store in the town of Ephrata, in Washington.
No details were immediately available of the second winning ticket, other than it was bought in Idaho.
The winning numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25 and 47, with 42 being the Mega number
In a strange coincidence, NBC reported that four of the six winning numbers appeared in an episode of the television series "Lost" titled why lottery winners can be losers.
In the program, the character of Hurley won the lottery. His winning ticket had the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
Last week, a resident of San Diego won $600,000 playing the Mega Millions and was one number away of winning it all.
