Live results for the winning numbers (1/3/23)
The Mega Millions jackpot for the lottery drawing that will take place on Tuesday has increased to an estimated $785 million, with a cash option that is worth $403.8 million.
The jackpot, if won, would rank as the fourth-largest in the history of the Mega Millions and the sixth-largest in the annals of the United States lottery (see above chart).
The numbers 25, 29, 33, 41, and 44 were selected as the winning numbers. The number 18 was picked for the Mega Ball, and the Megaplier was set to 4.
Since a reward of $502 million was won on October 14 by two different ticket holders, the jackpot has rolled over 24 times. These winners were from California and Florida respectively. In 2017, there were six different winners of the Mega Millions jackpot. The drawing that took place on July 29 offered the biggest reward, which was worth $1.337.3 billion. That winning ticket was bought in the state of Illinois.
Despite the fact that no one in the nation won the $685 million jackpot on Friday, a ticket for the second-place reward of $1 million was purchased in Ohio. Someone in New Jersey used the Jackpocket app to purchase a third-prize ticket worth $10,000 for Friday’s drawing. This purchase was made in the state. The winning ticket had a match for four numbers in addition to the Mega Ball.
The following numbers were drawn as winners on Friday: 1, 3, 6, 44, and 51.
The number seven was picked for the Mega Ball, and the Megaplier was set to three.
There is a one in 302,575,350 chance that a ticket purchased for two dollars will match all of the winning numbers. Players have a chance of winning at least one million dollars with a ticket that matches five numbers but not the Mega Ball. This probability is one in 12,607,306. The draws for the Mega Millions jackpot take place every Tuesday and Friday in 45 states, including Washington, the District of Columbia, and the United States Virgin Islands.
The currently estimated payout for the Mega Millions jackpot is $940 million. If you plan on participating, the following information is required of you.
As a result of the fact that no one won the drawing that took place on Tuesday, the top reward for tonight’s drawing has been increased to $940 million. Despite the fact that this is a little figure in comparison to the record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot that was won in November, it is still a sizeable amount that might pay off all of those pesky Christmas debts (and then some). In addition, this Mega Millions prize is the fourth greatest one that has ever been given.
How do Mega Millions work?
The price of each ticket to play is $2. According to the information provided on the official website for Mega Millions, “Players may choose six numbers from two independent pools of numbers — five different numbers from 1 to 70 (the white balls) and one number from 1 to 25 (the gold Mega Ball) — or select Easy Pick/Quick Pick. If you enter a lottery and your numbers match all six of the winning numbers, you will win the jackpot.
Of course, there are other prizes to be won in addition to the jackpot. Matching only the gold Mega Ball number is all that’s required to earn the minimum prize of $2. The other awards are differentiated according to the number of numbers that are matched.
Players also have the opportunity to raise the amount of money they might potentially win by selecting the $1 Megaplier option; however, this does not affect the amount of money that is awarded as the jackpot reward.
When will the drawing take place, and who will win?
The next drawing for Mega Millions will take hold on Friday night at 11 o’clock Eastern time.
Where can you get a ticket for this event?

When is the last possible moment to purchase a ticket?
Different jurisdictions have different policies about how late you are allowed to buy your ticket. For certain locations, the cutoff time is 10:45 p.m. Eastern Time, however, for others, the cutoff time is earlier.
How likely is it that I will end up winning the jackpot?
You have a very little chance of winning since the chances are 1 in 302,575,350. However, there is a one in twenty-four chance that you may win one of the prizes that are valued at $2 or more.
What are the several ways that the jackpot may be won?
You have the option of taking a lump sum payment, which is much less than the real jackpot. For example, the lump sum payment for the jackpot is now at $940 million is $483.5 million. You also have the option of receiving payments in the form of an annuity, which means you will get a payment right away, followed by 29 yearly installments that are increased by 5% each year.
