Mega Millions: Still no winner; jackpot jumps to $965M

The Mega Millions jackpot continues to inch toward the $1 billion mark, as no one correctly picked all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball in Tuesday’s drawing.

The next drawing on Friday, for the eighth-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history, will be worth an estimated $965 million, lottery officials said in a news release. The lump-sum cash option is an estimated $443.5 million.

The numbers chosen on Tuesday were 10-13-40-42-46 plus the gold Mega Ball 1. The jackpot heading into Tuesday night’s drawing was an estimated $900 million annuity or a $415.3 million cash option.

The jackpot has been growing since it was last won at $348 million in Virginia on June 27, lottery officials said. There have been a record 39 drawings since then.

The previous mark of 37 was set on Jan. 22, 2021, when a $1.051 billion jackpot was won in Michigan.

In Tuesday’s drawing, there were 809,030 winning tickets.

Three tickets matched five white balls to win the game’s second-tier prize of $1 million. One ticket sold in Arizona was worth $5 million because it had a 5X multiplier; the other two -- one sold in Iowa and the other in New York -- had a 3X multiplier for a $3 million prize.

Lottery officials said that 27 tickets matched four white balls and the Mega Ball to win the promotion’s third-tier prize.

Tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets are $5 each.
