It's not unheard of for there to be two (or three) tickets that win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot. Usually, those split tickets are sold in separate states, like the $502 million Mega Millions jackpot hit by tickets in California and Florida last year. But the most recent Mega Millions jackpot win, a $394 million prize hit over the weekend, was even more uncommon.A Chevron station in Encino, California, sold not one, but two winning tickets that matched all six numbers in Friday night’s drawing including the gold Mega Ball, according to a press release from lottery officials.  What should you do after winning the lottery? So how did this happen?"We won’t know exactly how this happened until the prize is claimed," Carolyn Becker, deputy director of public affairs for the California Lottery said in a press release. “There are any number of explanations; perhaps one person wanted to try their luck on two different rows for whatever reason, or maybe a couple of buddies wan...
