Even though there were no grand prize winners following the latest drawing, one player managed to become an instant millionaire. A ticket holder from Illinois hit the Match 5 and won $1 million.
If the player would have matched the five numbers and purchased the Megaplier, they would have a $2 million prize.
Aside from the lone instant millionaire, there were several other smaller wins that resulted from the night. Thirty-eight players hit the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball, putting their winnings at $10,000 each.
Meanwhile, five players hit the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball with a 2X Megaplier purchase, winning $20,000 apiece. The other Mega Millions wins from the evening ranged between $2 and $1,000.
Since the jackpot went unclaimed, the next drawing will take place on Friday and will be worth an estimated $480 million with a cash option of $276 million.
The latest drawing resulted in the jackpot growing over $440 million for the first time in 14 months. It has been over three months since the Mega Millions lottery has produced a winner.
The last time the jackpot grew this large was back in May 2021, when a player from Pennsylvania won the $516 million grand prize.
