$1.58 billion jackpot goes to lucky Mega Millions player in Florida
Are you tonight’s lucky winner? Grab your tickets and check your numbers because someone in Florida won the jackpot, while someone in Florida and North Carolina won $1 million by matching five numbers. The Mega Millions lottery jackpot had reset after someone won the $20 million prize on April 18.
Here are the winning numbers in Tuesday’s drawing:
13-19-20-32-33; Mega Ball: 14; Megaplier: 2X
The estimated jackpot for the drawing is $1.58 billion. The cash option is about $783.3 million. Since someone won, the jackpot resets to $20 million for the next drawing.
According to the game’s official website, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.
Players pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers — five different numbers from 1 to 70 and one number from 1 to 25 — or select Easy Pick. A player wins the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing.
Jackpot winners may choose whether to receive 30 annual payments, each five percent higher than the last, or a lump-sum payment.
Mega Millions drawings are Tuesdays and Fridays and are offered in 45 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $2 each.
