The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday's draw reached $ 548 million, making it the 9th largest prize in the history of the US lottery.
The winning numbers are: 4, 24, 46, 61, 70. The drawn Mega Ball was 7. The mega was 3x.
The cash option was worth $ 309 million.
Friday's draw is the third most important in 16 years of Mega Millions history.
Four second-prize tickets for five numbers but not the Mega Ball were sold for Tuesday's draw. Tickets purchased in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are worth $ 1 million each.
A ticket sold in California is valued at $ 440,703 as lottery prizes vary depending on ticket sales and the number of winners. They differ from the second fixed prices offered in other participating States.
Two tickets corresponding to four numbers plus the Mega Ball were sold in New Jersey.
A purchase purchased from Ryders Lane Wine & Spirit on Ryders Lane in Milltown is worth $ 30,000 because the winner has spent an additional dollar to exercise the Mega option. The other, valued at $ 10,000, was sold in Acme at the corner of Highway 9 and Elton Adelphia Road in Freehold Township.
Tuesday's winning numbers were 20, 22, 39, 54 and 60. The Mega Ball was 18 with a Megaplier of 3X.
