The grand prize for the April 10 draw stood at $136 million, with a cash option of $108.1 million.
The winning numbers were 2, 11, 21, 57, and 60, with the Mega ball being 13. There was also a 2X Megaplier in play, doubling the amount players could win outside the main jackpot.
No one was able to match all five white balls and the one gold Mega Ball to win the main $136 million prize, meaning some of the money will be added to the next draw on Tuesday, March 14. There were also no winners of the second-place $1 million prize after no one matched the five white balls on their own.
A total of 11 people won $10,000 after correctly picking four white balls and the one gold Mega Ball, four of whom had their winnings doubled to $20,000 after paying to have the 2X Megaplier in play.
The jackpot for Tuesday’s draw now stands at $145 million, with a cash option of $115.2 million.
In other news, the Illinois Lottery has announced it is extending the timeframe in which winners can claim prizes due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Players with winning tickets that were set to expire between March 16 and May 31 this year now have up to June 30, 2020 to claim their prizes as the country continues to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak.
“Players usually have 12 months to claim their prize. During this difficult time, we wanted to extend the prize expiration date to provide players an extra opportunity to claim a prize that has been forgotten or misplaced,” said Illinois Lottery Acting Director Harold Mays.
One of the winning tickets that has not been claimed is a $2 million Mega Millions prize that was due to expire last weekend.
The ticket, which has the winning numbers 8, 22, 24, 38, and 64 with a Mega Ball of 21, was bought from the Mobile station located in Joliet at 1600 New Lenox Road on April 5, 2019.
“Considering many of us are spending a lot of time at home right now, if you bought a Mega Millions ticket in Joliet around this time last year-now is the time to check under your couch cushions, in your desk drawers or in your glovebox to see if you’ve got the winning lottery ticket tucked away somewhere,” Mays added.
