One thing I can say about this is it that they are going to share the jackpot winner between the two winners into equal half. but there are some jackpot companies that are rich enough to pay both of the winners the consolation prize without dividing them into two equal parts.

I reckon that both of them should receive their winnings separately because they purchased the ticket separately and according to the rules and regulation of lottery, they have won a jackpot and are supposed to receive the reward attached to it.
You are very on point in every aspect in your comment. But there are some up-and-coming lottery company out there who will be shocked to discover that two people win the bet at the same time and they may want to settle for the common ground on the 3 parties.
If it happens that two people won a jackpot at a time the best thing to do is to share the money equally among themselves so as to avoid stress or misunderstanding, that's the best idea and protocol to follow so as to avoid fight between the two parties
One thing I can say is that this depend on the company involved. If the company is buoyant enough she should be able to pay to both of the winners irrespective of the price. the case might be quite different with a company that has low profit.
Most of the times both of the winners will get the equal share of the money it is the right thing to do as well and if the players do it themselves easily then the lottery officials wont have to step in for solving the matter indeed actuallly .
I agree that sharing the jackpot equally is a fair and reasonable way to handle the situation. Fighting over money can cause unnecessary stress and strain relationships. It is always better to approach such situations with open communication and a willingness to compromise. The ultimate goal should be to maintain a positive relationship between the two parties.
