Nobody won $1 million and 23 people won $10,000, with six of those winners tripling their prize to $30,000 with the Megaplier.
Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET. Five white balls are drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 70; one gold Mega Ball is drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 25.
You win if the numbers on one row of your ticket match the numbers of the balls drawn on that date. There are nine ways to win a prize, from $2 to the jackpot.
If no one wins the jackpot, the money is added to the jackpot for the next drawing. Overall chances of winning a prize are one in 24.
The previous Mega Millions grand prize winner was February 11, 2020 for $202 million with a ticket sold in New Jersey. The previous grand prize winner before that was December 15, 2019, for $372 million with a ticket sold in Ohio.
Prior to that, a $227 million ticket was sold on September 24, 2019, in the city of Cedar Park, Texas, a suburb north of Austin. The winner from nearby Leander came forward to claim that prize, but they wished to remain anonymous.
