Mega Millions lottery: Did you win Friday’s $80M Mega Millions drawing? Live results, winning numbers (01/10/ - NJ.com

The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s lottery drawing has climbed to an estimated $80 million with a cash option of $53.9 million.

The winning numbers were: 17, 27, 49, 51 and 66. The Mega Ball drawn was 2 with a Megaplier of 2X.

A ticket sold in Mentor, Ohio for the Dec. 17 drawing hit the $375 million jackpot, the 31st-largest prize in U.S. lottery history. It’s the 14th largest Mega Millions jackpot dating to the game’s inception in 2002.

If the winner chose the cash option, the prize will be $251.5 million before taxes. The winner has not yet stepped forward.

No one hit Tuesday’s $69 million jackpot, nor were there any second-prize $1 million tickets purchased across the country.

In New Jersey, 14 players matched four numbers but not the Mega Ball. Three of the ticket buyers spent an extra $1 for the Megaplier option making those tickets are worth $2,000. The other 11 are valued at $500 apiece.

Tuesday’s winning numbers were: 25, 40, 41, 52 and 56. The Mega Ball drawn was 21 with a Megaplier of 4X.

The top prize was won seven times last year, including once in New Jersey. Michael J. Weirsky, of Warren County, won the $273 million Mega Millions jackpot in the March 1, 2019 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.
