The latest Mega Millions drawing held on Friday, June 27, resulted in no jackpot winners as the numbers drawn were 18, 21, 29, 42, 50, with the Mega Ball being 2. The jackpot reached an impressive estimated $348 million, equating to a cash option of $155.5 million, but no player hit the winning combination.
The next chance for players to win big will be on Tuesday, with drawings scheduled every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in New Jersey until 10:45 p.m. on these draw nights, and each ticket costs $5.
Participants should keep in mind that Mega Millions has a built-in multiplier that enhances non-jackpot prize payouts, allowing for increases of two to ten times, depending on the match.
For those hopeful players wondering about potential winnings, there are multiple tiers of prizes that can be won even without hitting the jackpot. For instance, matching five white balls alone can yield prizes ranging from $2 million to $10 million, depending on the specific game conditions.
Should a player win the jackpot, they can choose between an annuity paid over 30 years with increasing amounts each year or a lump-sum cash payment. This flexibility is designed to help maintain a winner’s purchasing power during inflationary periods.
Be sure to stay up-to-date with the latest winning numbers, which can be found on the Mega Millions website or through live broadcasts on platforms like YouTube. With enthusiasm building for the upcoming drawing, players across the country remain hopeful for their lucky day.
