At least two winning tickets have been sold in the $636 million Mega Millions jackpot, officials in California and Georgia announced.
One lucky costumer bought a winning ticket at Jennifer's Gift Shop in San Jose, according to California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso. That winner will be sharing the second-largest lottery jackpot of all time with the holder of a ticket bought at the Gateway Newstand in Atlanta, 11 Alive News reports.
It is possible that winners in other states will be announced.
"For us, the main thing we'd like to get across is the level of excitement we saw all across California," Traverso told the Associated Press. "At one point, we were selling about 25,000 tickets per minute."
