The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday‘s lottery drawing has increased to an estimated $139 million, with a cash option of $62.3 million.
The winning numbers were: 18, 30, 33, 55 and 64. The Mega Ball drawn was 11.
No one across the country won Friday’s $122 million jackpot. There were also no second-prize tickets worth at least $2 million sold.
Friday’s winning numbers were: 2, 22, 42, 62 and 66. The Mega Ball drawn was 14.
The odds of a $5 ticket winning the jackpot were previously 302 million to 1, but on April 8, one Mega Ball was eliminated from the matrix, slightly improving the odds to 290,472,336 to 1.
The odds of winning at least $1 million by matching five numbers but not the Mega Ball are now 1 in 12,607,306, an improvement from the previous odds of 12,629,232 to 1.
The odds of matching four numbers plus the Mega Ball for a prize of at least $10,000 are 893,761 to 1, better than the previous 931,001 to 1.
Mega Millions drawings are held each Tuesday and Friday in 45 states, along with Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot is worth an estimated $146 million with a cash option of $65.6 million.
