Mega Millions hit an estimated jackpot of $1,000,000,000 Friday. This is the 37th draw in the current jackpot run, which began after a Wisconsin player won a $120 million prize on September 15. It’s the longest the game has gone without a jackpot win.
During that time, there have been almost 35.4 million winning tickets sold at all other prize levels, including 60 worth $1 million or more. Those million-dollar prizes were won in 23 different states across America.
There were a total of 5,193,801 winning tickets at all prize levels in Tuesday night’s drawing, including 11 that matched the five white balls to win the game’s second prize of at least $1 million.
Two of those, both sold in Florida, included the optional Megaplier (an extra $1 purchase available in most states); they are each worth $2 million after the 2X Megaplier was drawn Tuesday night.
A third Florida ticket won the standard $1 million second prize, along with tickets sold in California, Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, New Jersey (two), Pennsylvania, and Washington.
Tonight’s winning numbers are:
4, 26, 42, 50, 60, MB is 24 and the Megaplier is 2x
