Mega Millions Winning Numbers: No Grand Prize Winner, Jackpot Grows To $67 Million
February continues to be a quieter month when it comes to Mega Millions wins, as another drawing has come and gone without someone taking home the jackpot.
The winning Mega Millions numbers drawn on Friday were 20, 29, 30, 52 and 58, with a gold Mega Ball of 19. The Megaplier was 3X.

Since the prize has gone unclaimed, the jackpot will now rise to $67 million with a cash option of $35.1 million ahead of the Tuesday drawing.
While no one did take home the grand prize, one lucky winner in South Carolina did become an instant millionaire after hitting the Match 5. If they had purchased the Megaplier, they would have won $3 million.
Five players won $10,000 by hitting the Match 4 plus the Mega Ball, but again, none purchased the Megaplier which would have earned them $30,000 in winnings. The rest of the prizes from the night ranged between $2 and $1,500.00.
More than 470,000 winning tickets at all prize levels were sold for the latest drawing.
February's quieter month with no jackpot winners yet comes after a historic January, which saw four jackpot winners in the span of a few weeks. A single ticket in Maine took home a massive $1.348 Billion prize on Jan. 13, while someone in New York won $20 million on Jan 17. Two players in Massachusetts took home jackpot prizes on Jan. 24 and Jan. 31 as well.
While February has been quieter for Mega Millions, the Powerball jackpot seems to have picked up where the other big win game left off. A player in Washington hit the jackpot with an estimated $754.6 million win and a $407.2 million cash value in Monday's drawing.
Mega Million jackpot winners can receive their grand prize winning through either a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity. Those who opt for the annuity receive one immediate payment, followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
Mega Millions can be played in 45 states as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
