The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s lottery drawing has rolled back to an estimated $40 million after someone in Ohio won Tuesday’s $372 million jackpot.
The winning numbers were: 3, 20, 23, 35 and 60. The Mega Ball drawn was 16 with a Megaplier of 3X.
No one had hit the jackpot since Sept. 24 before Tuesday’s jackpot winning ticket was bought in Mentor, Ohio. It’s the 31st largest prize in U.S. lottery history. If the winner chose the cash option, the prize will be $251.5 million before taxes.
There were also four second-prize Mega Millions tickets purchased for Tuesday’s drawing, lottery officials said. Tickets sold in Iowa, New York and West Virginia are worth $1 million apiece while a ticket bought in Pennsylvania is worth $2 million because the winner spent an extra $1 for the Megaplier option.
Tuesday’s winning numbers were: 22, 30, 53, 55 and 56. The Mega Ball drawn was 16 with a Megaplier of 2X.
The top prize has been won seven times this year, including once in New Jersey. Michael J. Weirsky, of Warren County, won the $273 million Mega Millions jackpot in the March 1 drawing.
Mega Millions tickets cost $2 each and in New Jersey must be bought by 10:45 p.m. on the evening of the drawing. 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 1 in 12,607,306 shot to win the second prize of at least $1 million by matching five numbers.
Mega Millions is played in 44 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
