Grand prize winners usually take the cash option, which for Tuesday night’s drawing will be an estimated $568.7 million. The new estimated prize of $1.1 billion is for a winner who chooses an annuity paid annually over 29 years. Of those, 15 were worth $30,000 each because they included the Megaplier the others are worth $10,000 each. There was also one winner each sold in Florida and Maryland as well.Īlong with the $1 million prizes, 115 tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the third-tier prize. It was not immediately clear where in each state the tickets were sold. Of those five tickets, two were sold in New York, while another was sold in New Jersey. You have to match all five white balls for that one. While no grand prize winners came from Friday's drawing, a number of people in New York and New Jersey had tickets worth $1 million - not a bad consolation prize for second place. These are the most frequently drawn Mega Millions numbers, stats show.
