Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $290M for Tuesday, June 21, 2022

No one matched all six numbers in Friday night’s Mega Millions drawing so the jackpot will climb to $290 million, according to the Mega Millions website.

The cash option for Tuesday night’s drawing will be $162.3 million.

The numbers drawn on Friday, June 17, 2022 were: 20 – 36 – 53 – 56 – 69 and Megaball 16. The Megaplier was 2x. The jackpot was an estimated $273 million with a cash option of $151.7 million.

While no one won it all, there were three million-dollar prizes won on Friday. Two tickets sold in Florida and Texas matched all five white balls and had the Megaplier to win $2 million each, while another ticket in California also won a second-tier prize.

The jackpot has not been won since April 15 when a ticket sold in Tennessee won $20 million – it was the second time in two drawings the jackpot was won.

Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. You can play the game in 45 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot is at $279 million with a cash option of $159.4 million for Saturday night’s drawing, according to the Powerball website.
