Mega Millions lottery: Did you win Tuesday’s $20M Mega Millions drawing?

The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday’s lottery drawing has rolled back to an estimated $20 million, with a cash option valued at $11.6 million after a lucky ticket holder in Illinois won Friday’s massive $1.337 billion prize, the third largest in U.S. lottery history.

The winning numbers drawn were: 37, 10, 14, 25, 63. Mega Ball of 14 and a Megaplier 3x.

Friday’s winning ticket was purchased at the Speedway gas station in Des Plaines, a suburb of Chicago. No one had hit the jackpot since a $20 million ticket was sold in Tennessee for the April 15 drawing.

In addition to the jackpot winning ticket, 26 second-prize tickets were purchased across the country. Six are worth $2 million, the rest $1 million. None were bought in New Jersey. All matched five numbers but not the Mega Ball.

In New Jersey, 22 tickets were sold that matched four numbers plus the Mega Ball. Two bought at Market Place Deli on Route 23 in Hamburg and J.P. Kelly’s on Hope Road in Great Meadows are worth $20,00 because both were bought with the Megaplier option. The other 20 bought at stores across the state are valued at $10,000 apiece.

Friday’s winning numbers were: 13, 36, 45, 57 and 67. The Mega Ball drawn was 14 with a Megaplier of 2x.

The odds of a $2 ticket matching all the winning numbers are 302,575,350 to 1. Players have a 1 in 12,607,306 chance of a ticket matching five numbers but not the Mega Ball and winning at least $1 million.

Mega Millions drawings are held on Tuesday and Friday in 45 states, along with Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
