Tuesday’s Mega Millions: $30M Jackpot, Winning Numbers Revealed

The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday’s lottery drawing has climbed to $30 million, giving hopeful players a chance to win big with a cash option of $13.9 million. The winning numbers for this exciting draw were 1, 5, 7, 22, and 24, with the Mega Ball drawn as 8 and a Megaplier of 4X. Although no one claimed the $20 million jackpot from the previous drawing, there were two lucky ticket holders who matched five numbers but missed the Mega Ball, winning significant prizes of $1 million in Texas and $97,455 in California. It’s important to note that California lottery prizes can vary based on ticket sales and the number of winners, setting them apart from fixed second prizes offered in other states.

In Friday’s Mega Millions draw, the winning numbers were 3, 5, 12, 22, and 66, with the Mega Ball as 7 and a Megaplier of 4X. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot with a $2 ticket by matching all five numbers and the Mega Ball are quite slim at 302,575,350 to 1. However, players still have a 1 in 12,607,306 chance of matching five numbers without the Mega Ball and securing at least $1 million. The odds of matching four numbers plus the Mega Ball for a prize worth a minimum of $10,000 are 931,001 to 1.

Individuals across the nation continue to try their luck in various lottery games, hoping to hit the jackpot and change their lives forever. Just recently, a bus driver from Camden County, New Jersey, purchased a winning ticket at Preet Food Mart on Chews Landing Road and scooped up a whopping $221 million in the Powerball jackpot. The upcoming Powerball jackpot stands at $20 million, offering players a shot at the big prize with a cash option of $9.4 million.
