Two winning tickets will split the huge jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions game.

Mega Millions says the holders of one ticket sold in Idaho and another in Washington state will be sharing the lottery game's $355 million jackpot.

This is the fourth largest in U.S. history and the second largest in Mega Millions history.  The jackpot's cash option works out to about $224 million.

The winning numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25 and 47, with 42 being the Mega Ball number.

Mega Millions sales at some U.P. stores skyrocketed in the days leading up the the drawing.  Buck's Party Store in Negaunee said their sales have been about three times as much as average.
