The winning Mega Millions numbers for last (Tuesday) night were 32, 48, 50, 51, and 64, and the Mega Ball was 10. The jackpot was an estimated $168 million with a cash option of $177.6 million, but did anyone win the Mega Millions grand prize?
Nobody won the jackpot last night, so the jackpot has rolled over to Friday night's draw and is now an estimated $187 million with a cash option of $130.9 million.
Three tickets matched all five numbers, winning a prize of $1 million each. Three players who purchased their tickets in California, Louisiana, and Ohio each won $1 million by matching five numbers.
The Megaplier in Tuesday night's draw was X2, which means any prize, excluding the jackpot, would be doubled when the Megaplier was in play.
Other major prizes were won in last night's Mega Millions, as 16 people won $10,000 each by matching four balls and the Mega Ball, and two of these players doubled their prize by using the Megaplier.
Nearly 300 players won $500 by matching four balls and nearly 50 of these players doubled their prize to $1,000 as they purchased the Megaplier. More than 800 players won $200 by matching three balls and the Mega Ball, and nearly 150 of these players doubled their prize.
