Who won the Mega Millions last night?
No one won the main jackpot prize last night. In other words, there are still Mega Millions winning numbers on Friday.
However, there are nine different ways to earn at least some cash, ranging from a total to $ 2.
How much would you win if you scored three numbers in Mega Millions? How about 2?
Matching the three numbers will earn you $ 10 regardless of whether one of those numbers is a megaball. If you have 3 numbers and a megaball number, you will earn $ 200. Unless one of those numbers is a megaball, the two numbers won’t beat you. In that case, you can charge $ 4.
The Mega Millions numbers are drawn with five white balls, each of which can be a number from 1 to 70. The final gold “megaball” is drawn from a set of balls with numbers from 1 to 25.
Here’s a complete guide to winnings:
- 5 matching numbers + megaball: jackpot.
- 5 matching numbers: $ 1 million.
- 4 matching numbers + megaball: $ 10,000.
- 4 matching numbers: $ 500.
- 3 matching numbers + megaball: $ 200.
- Three matching numbers: $ 10.
- Two matching numbers + megaball: $ 10.
- One matching number + megaball: $ 4.
- A megaball that matches $ 2.

What is a “megaprie”?
Most states have an optional lottery feature called “Megaprie” that can be purchased for $ 1. If you choose this, you will be able to multiply the prizes you have charged for non-jackpot prizes by the lottery “Megaprie” number. “Megaprie” indicates the amount that can be withdrawn from a pool of 15 balls numbered from 2 to 5 and multiplied by the winnings.
For example, the number of “megapries” on Tuesday tripled. So if you earned $ 200 and played with the “Megaplier” feature, you would have earned $ 600.
