The winning numbers from Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing were: 7, 29, 60, 63, 66 & 15 "Mega Ball" that took place at 11 P.M. (ET)
The Mega Ball jackpot pumped to an estimated prize of $830 million.
It would be the U.S.' fourth-largest lottery prize of all time & the third-largest Mega Millions prize.
The Mega Millions top prize has grown so large because no one has matched the game's six numbers since April 15, which means 28 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner.
2022 has seen three large jackpot wins:– a $426 million pot in California (January),– a $128 million ticket in New York (March),– a $110 million prize in Minnesota (April).
The odds of winning the jackpot are vanishingly small i.e. about 1 in 302.5 million.
Well, even if you somehow beat all the odds, you won't get the total of $830 million.
$830 million is the amount for winners who take the annuity option, paid over 30 annual payments.
But winners generally opt for cash, which for this drawing would pay out an estimated $488 million.
