TWO winning lottery tickets with the same numbers, bought from the same store, have seen two players claim the same jackpot.
The tenth Mega Millions jackpot of the year was claimed in California over the weekend.
The two lucky winners both purchased their tickets at the Chevron station on Ventura Boulevard in Encino, a neighborhood in Los Angeles.
According to Mega Millions, both tickets matched all six numbers from Friday night's drawing.
The numbers were white balls 21, 26, 53, 66, and 70 with gold Mega Ball 13.
Both winners will now have to split the $394 million jackpot which has been accumulating money since October 6.

Following the two winning ticket sales, the Chevron station is set to rival what has become known as the "lucky gas station" in Brooklyn, New York.
Lottery player Wayne Murray won two $10 million prizes in just over a year with tickets from the H&A Gas and Convenience station in Flatbush.
The 63-year-old multi-millionaire won $10 million in August 2022 on a Black Titanium game.
This was then followed by a second win on the New York Lottery's 200X scratch-off game on Tuesday.
Gas station manager Asim told The New York Post: "The store gets famous.
"I've seen new faces; some people keep coming asking [about the] lucky store."
As well as being known as lucky, the Chevron store in Encino is set to win its own money from the lottery organization for selling the winning tickets.
