The Mega Millions jackpot from Tuesday night didn’t result in any big winners, which means the pot is only growing bigger ahead of the next pull later this week.

On Tuesday, the winning numbers 22, 56, 43, 29, and 8 were pulled. The gold Mega Ball drawn was a 9 with a Megaplier of 4x.

According to the Mega Millions winners' index, one player in New York will be awarded a $1M prize after matching five of the numbers. Another unnamed individual in Texas will get $4M for matching five numbers and the Megaplier number on their ticket.

Other prizes won following the most recent drawing range from $2, which 240,503 players will receive, to $40K.

The jackpot was estimated to be $24M ahead of Tuesday’s drawing with a cash-out option of $19.3M. The upcoming jackpot will be worth an estimated $31M with a $24.9M cash option.

MSN reports the last Mega Millions jackpot was secured on July 31 with the California winner receiving $22M. The win marked the fourth for the lottery company in 2020.

Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 a.m. EDT.
