Will a $2 ticket make you a multimillionaire?
After no one matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball in the Friday, June 14, Mega Millions drawing for $47 million, the jackpot jumped to $61 million with a cash option of $29.1 million for Tuesday, June 18. Tuesday's winning numbers were 21-22-50-55-67 and the Mega Ball was 20. Megaplier was 2x. Those numbers mean another rollover.
The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday now grows to $80 million, with a cash option of $38.2 million.
There was one big winner in Tuesday's drawing. A ticket purchased in Wisconsin matched 5 for a $1 million prize.
Though Friday's drawing resulted in a rollover, it wasn't all bad news. Friday’s winning numbers were 1-25-26-31-65 and the Mega Ball was 2. Megaplier was 3x. There was one big winner: A ticket purchased in New Jersey matched 5 for a $1 million prize.
Something pretty interesting happened in the Tuesday, June 11, Mega Millions lottery drawing, too: Winning numbers were 1-5-7-22-24 and the Mega Ball was 8. Megaplier was 4x. What are the odds of two tickets purchased from two Publix stores on the same street in the same city for the same Mega Millions drawing winning $1 million each? Not sure, but it happened June 11.
According to the Florida Lottery, there were two secondary winners, each winning $1 million for matching five numbers. The tickets came from Publix, 10500 Ulmerton Road, Suite 800, Largo, and Publix, 10411 Ulmerton Road, Largo.
