One of the largest jackpots in lottery history, the $1.1 billion Mega Millions jackpot that will be won on Tuesday has been estimated winning numbers.
The numbers are 8, 24, 30, 45, and 61, with the gold Mega Ball being 12.
According to the lottery, if someone wins, the jackpot may surpass the third-largest award in Mega Millions history.
The Mega Millions has stated that a grand prize winner has the option of taking a one-time option of about $550.2 million or spreading the reward over 29 years in yearly instalments.
The jackpot topped $1 billion after no ticket had all six of the numbers drawn on Friday night match. The jackpot hasn’t been won since April 18 in New York, therefore this will be the 30th drawing, according to Mega Millions.
Even yet, there were still some big winners from the lottery on Friday even though no one took home the jackpot. The optional Megaplier, which can be added on top of the $1 purchase in most states, was activated by a ticket bought in Pennsylvania that had the first five numbers correct. This ticket was good for $5 million.
Four other tickets in Arizona, California, New York, and Pennsylvania had the first five numbers correct and were awarded $1 million prizes.
The previous largest Mega Millions jackpot, worth $1.537 billion, was won in South Carolina in 2018. Then, in January, a $1.348 billion ticket was sold in Maine, and in July, a $1.337 billion reward was won.
The $1.05 billion prize won in Michigan in 2021 was the fourth-place prize on the Mega Millions list prior to Tuesday night’s drawing.
The third-largest Powerball jackpot, worth $1.08 billion, was won on Tuesday after all the numbers on a Powerball ticket purchased at a Los Angeles convenience store matched.
