The Mega Millions jackpot has reached a staggering half-billion dollars after no one matched all six numbers in Friday night’s drawing. This puts the jackpot just shy of the Top 10 Mega Millions all-time prize list.
The winning numbers for the Tuesday, July 11th drawing were 10, 17, 33, 51, 64, and the Mega Ball was 5. The Megaplier was 2X. Unfortunately, nobody matched all six numbers to win the Mega Millions jackpot. However, three lucky tickets purchased in California, South Dakota, and Wisconsin matched all five numbers except for the Mega Ball, earning them a prize of $1 million each.
In Mega Millions, you only need to match one number to win a prize, but that number must be the Mega Ball, which is worth $2. If you manage to match two numbers, you won’t win anything unless one of the numbers is the Mega Ball. In that case, a ticket matching one of the five numbers and the Mega Ball is worth $4.
The Mega Millions jackpot for the next drawing on Tuesday, July 11th, 2023, has risen to an estimated $560 million, with a cash option of $281.1 million. The drawings are held twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday, at approximately 10 p.m. CT.
For those interested in playing Mega Millions, here’s how you can participate:
1. Choose five numbers from 1 to 70.
2. Select one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25.
3. You can also add the Megaplier option for an additional $1 per play, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times.
