Has Friday's Mega Millions drawing unfolded the fortunate winning numbers for the $140 million jackpot prize? Could it be you?
The Mega Millions lottery is currently offering a jackpot of $140 million, with the winning numbers yet to be announced. The drawing for this massive prize is taking place in the present.
Mega Millions is a popular lottery game that is offered in 45 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Players can participate by selecting six numbers: five different numbers from 1 to 70 and one number from 1 to 25.
In the current drawing, the five main numbers are 18-27-29-33-70, and the Mega Ball number is 22. If no one wins the jackpot in this drawing, the prize will climb even higher for the next one.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are approximately 1 in 290,472,336. This means that for each ticket you buy, the chance of matching all five white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the jackpot is about 1 in 290 million.
The Mega Millions jackpot starts at $50 million and increases after each drawing in which nobody wins the jackpot. The game draws five white balls from a set of 70 numbered balls, and one Mega Ball from a set of 24 numbered balls. The jackpot is won by matching all six numbers drawn.
The cost of a Mega Millions ticket is $5. A new multiplier feature has been included in the ticket price, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times, but does not affect the jackpot itself.
Interestingly, the larger jackpots grow faster, and bigger jackpots (over $700 million) are expected to occur more frequently compared to earlier versions of the game.
Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot is currently estimated at $384 million. The cash option for the Mega Millions jackpot is approximately $62 million. Jackpot winners in both Powerball and Mega Millions can choose between 30 annual payments, each five percent higher than the last, or a lump-sum payment.
It's worth noting that on March 25, someone won a $344 million Mega Millions prize, causing the jackpot to rise. The winning numbers for that drawing were 18-27-29-33-70 and Mega Ball 22, the same numbers as in the current drawing.
So, if you're feeling lucky, don't miss out on your chance to win the $140 million Mega Millions jackpot! Mega Millions lottery tickets are available for purchase for the current drawing. Good luck!
