No big winner in latest Mega Millions lottery, jackpot jumps to $965 million
With no big winner in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing, the game’s jackpot will jump to at least $965 million for Friday’s game.
The pot was $900 million for Tuesday’s drawing.
It marks the eighth largest jackpot since the Mega Millions game began in 2002. The highest jackpot winner this year came on June 27, when a Virginia ticket holder won a $348 million jackpot.
Here are the winning numbers from Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing: 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and the Megaball was 1.
Mega Millions tickets have a built-in multiplier that increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or 10 times.
Mega Millions/Megaplier drawings are held at 11 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday. You can view past Mega Millions drawings at the Official Mega Millions site.
All non-jackpot wins can increase based on the multiplier amount ranging from 2X to 10X times the listed prize amount. The overall odds of winning a prize is 1 in 23.07.
Jackpot: Match all five balls and the Megaball: 1 in 290,472,336
