<p>No one won the Mega Millions lottery jackpot Friday night and next Tuesday&#8217;s drawing will be a whopping $790 million if there is one winner. The cash value of the jackpot is $464.4 million.</p>
<p>With strong sales expected for such a large jackpot, don&#8217;t be surprised if the final prize value for Tuesday&#8217;s drawing goes higher.</p>
<p>The jackpot rolled again after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night: the white balls 14, 40, 60, 64 and 66, plus the gold Mega Ball 16.</p>
<p>There have been only three lottery jackpots ever won – in any game – at a higher level than next Tuesday’s estimated prize of $790 million. Two were Mega Millions jackpots – $1.537 billion won in South Carolina on October 23, 2018, and $1.050 billion won in Michigan on January 22, 2021. The current world record lottery prize is a $1.586 billion Powerball® jackpot won on January 13, 2016.</p>
<p>While the Mega Millions jackpot remains elusive, there were still millions of winners in Friday night’s drawing – a total of 3,428,412 winning tickets at all prize levels. Four tickets matched the five white balls to win the game&#8217;s second prize. Three of them are worth $3 million each because they included the optional Megaplier (a $1 extra purchase available in most states), which was 3X Friday night; they were sold in Delaware, New Jersey and New York. The remaining Match 5 winning ticket, worth $1 million, was sold in Virginia. The $3 million Delaware ticket represents the largest Mega Millions prize ever won in that state!</p>
<p>For matching four white balls plus the Mega Ball in the July 22 drawing, 105 tickets win the game’s third prize. Sixteen of those are worth $30,000 each because they also included the optional Megaplier. The other 89 third-prize tickets win $10,000 each.</p>
<p>In the 28 drawings since the jackpot was last won in Tennessee on April 15, there have been almost 21.4 million winning tickets at all prize levels, including 33 worth $1 million or more. Those big prizes have been won in 17 states across the country: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.</p>
<p>Four Mega Millions jackpots have been won so far this year. In addition to the most recent Tennessee win at $15 million on April 15, jackpots were won in California ($426 million on January 28), New York ($128 million on March 8) and Minnesota ($110 million on April 12; that state’s very first Mega Millions jackpot win).</p>
<p>Mega Millions tickets cost $2.00 per play.</p>
<p>Players may pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers &#8211; five different numbers from 1 to 70 (the white balls) and one number from 1 to 25 (the gold Mega Ball) &#8211; or select Easy Pick/Quick Pick. You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing.</p>
