The numbers drawn on Friday night were: 10, 24, 48, 51, 66, with the gold Mega Ball number being 15. If a winner opts for the next drawing’s estimated $640 million jackpot, they would receive the payout through an annuity spread over 29 years. However, most grand prize winners choose a cash payout, and for the upcoming Tuesday night’s draw, it is estimated to be around $328 million. According to Mega Millions, this jackpot ranks as the seventh largest in the history of the game. In the drawing, four tickets matched all five white balls, securing the second-tier prize level. One of these tickets, which was sold in South Carolina, included an optional multiplier, enhancing its value to $2 million. Additionally, two tickets from California and one from North Carolina also became second-tier winners, according to Mega Millions. Despite the long odds of 1 in 302.6 million, players continue to purchase tickets eagerly as the grand prize reaches astounding heights. The last time a Mega Millions player claimed the top prize was on April 18. Mega Millions is available in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
