US Mega Millions Jackpot Hits $72 Million for Friday’s Draw

There were no winners of the Mega Millions jackpot on Tuesday and the prize fund has once again rolled over to create a jackpot on Friday of $72 million.

Tuesday’s winning numbers were 25, 45, 51, 53, 73 and the bonus ball was 2. There were three players that matched all five regular numbers to win $1 million each. A further three players with the Megaplier option matched four numbers and the bonus ball to win $10,000. Twenty-one players without the Megaplier option matched the same numbers to win $5,000 each. A total of $5,283,194 was won by 1,203,231 players.

It is possible to win a prize in the Mega Millions by matching just the bonus ball; players that match three regular numbers without the bonus ball will also receive a prize. The jackpot is won by matching all six numbers.
