The Mega Millions lottery jackpot rose to $ 432 million for Tuesday night’s draw, after no tickets matched Friday night’s six winning numbers – the first major lottery draw of 2021.
A ticket sold in Texas matched the five white balls, but not the gold Mega Ball, according to the official Mega Million website. This ticket is therefore worth $ 1 million.
Across the country, 31 tickets from Friday’s raffle won a prize of $ 10,000, those tickets corresponding to four white balls and the mega gold ball, the lottery said. In addition, 741 tickets won $ 500 each for four white balls.
The winning numbers in the Friday night draw (1/1/2021) were 8, 24, 53, 68 and 69. The mega golden number was seven, and the Megaplier was 5x.
The next draw will take place at 11 p.m. EST on Tuesday, January 5. The dollar value of the jackpot estimated at $ 432 million will be approximately $ 329.7 million.
The last time a lottery player won the top Mega Millions jackpot was September 15, 2020, when a $ 120 million ticket was sold in Wisconsin. Two jackpots were won in New Jersey in 2020; an anonymous winner claimed the $ 202 million prize won on February 11 with a ticket sold to Edison, and a $ 124 million ticket was purchased in Bayonne for the July 24 draw.
