Mega Millions Lottery: Did you win Friday’s $ 750 million Mega Millions draw? Results, winning numbers (01/15/2021)

The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s lottery draw rose to $ 750 million, potentially making it the fifth-largest in lottery history in the United States.

The winning numbers were: 3, 11, 12, 38 and 43. The Mega Ball drawn was 15 with a Megaplier of 4X.

The payout is also said to be the second-largest since Mega Millions launched in 2002.

The last time a lottery player hit the top Mega Millions jackpot was September 15, 2020, when a $ 120 million ticket was sold in Wisconsin. Since then, 34 drawings have been organized without a first prize winner.

While no one across the country hit Tuesday’s $ 625 million jackpot, a ticket sold in Hoboken was one of nine second-prize tickets purchased nationwide. All tickets are worth at least $ 1 million and match five numbers, but not the Mega Ball.

There were also nine tickets worth $ 10,000 each purchased in the Garden State, New Jersey lottery officials said. Each third prize ticket corresponded to four numbers plus the Mega Ball

The winning numbers drawn on Tuesday were: 12, 14, 26, 28 and 33. The drawn Mega Ball was 9 with a Megaplier of 2X.

Two big 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.

Mega Millions tickets cost $ 2 each and in New Jersey must be purchased by 10:45 p.m. on the night of the draw. The odds of a ticket hitting the jackpot by matching five numbers and the Mega Ball are 302,575,350 to 1. Players have a shot of 1 in 12,607,306 to win the second prize of at least $ 1 million by matching five numbers.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington DC and the US Virgin Islands.

The New Jersey Lottery office in Lawrence is open to the public by appointment. You can still claim your winnings – provided they’re less than $ 599.50 – in person at any retailer.

The lottery also accepts mailed claims, although officials warn payments could be temporarily delayed. Winners are encouraged to make copies of the claim form and the winning ticket for their records.
