Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot at $20 Million for Friday’s Draw

Last week there was a lucky jackpot winner in the Mega Millions, but no one won during the mid-week draw which means that this Friday’s jackpot is an impressive $20 million.

On Tuesday there were 15 players that matched four numbers and the bonus ball to win $5,000 each while a further 27 Megaplier players matched four numbers to win $2,500. There were also 222 players without the Megaplier option that matched four numbers to win $500. In all there were 1,013,829 winners that shared total prizes of $2,390,185.

Prizes are awarded in the Mega Millions to any player that matches at least the bonus ball. Players that match at least three regular numbers but not the bonus ball will also receive prizes. In order to win the jackpot a player must match all five regular numbers and the bonus ball.

It is possible to buy tickets for the Mega Millions in thousands of shops across the United States. Alternatively there are numerous websites which sell tickets. Each line of numbers costs just $1 and it is possible to buy multiple lines for each draw.
