LOS ANGELES - As the nation awaits the winner of the $284 million Mega Millions jackpot, someone in California may be $392,000 richer.

According to California Lottery's website late Tuesday night, a ticket worth just over $392,160 was sold at Eddie's Jr. Market on East 4th Street in Long Beach.

Elsewhere across the state, a ticket worth $54,000 was also sold in California.

The news comes as the following were the winning numbers for the then-jackpot of $257 million on April 30 – which apparently no one got:

HOW MUCH DO YOU WIN AFTER TAXES?

There are 284 million reasons to dream, especially what you would do with the jackpot money. However, one thing all lottery winners have to take into account is the fact that their prizes will be taxed.

So how much do you really get after taxes?

It depends on a couple of factors: do you have to pay state taxes where you live? Will you take the lump sum payment or the annuity payout?

According to Mega Millions' website, those electing to take the annuity option get one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, a process that is identical to Powerball with their payouts.
