Mega Millions winning numbers are to be revealed soon on tonight's draw, March 15, 2014. The six lucky numbers of the winning ticket will be announced at exactly 11 p.m. EST.
Hundreds of millions of players are tuning in tonight for the drawing of the Mega Millions winning numbers, especially now that the jackpot prize has reached a mind-blowing amount: US$353M! According to the Mega Millions website, the $353 million prize will rank fifth on the list of top 10 Mega Millions jackpots. This amount is said to be the highest of Mega Millions jackpot for the year 2014.
The winning numbers in Tuesday night's drawing were 9-14-56-57-69 and Mega Ball number 10.
As the jackpot rises, so are the sales of the tickets. Arizona lottery officials now anticipate as much as 5,000 additional ticket sales today following Tuesday's draw.
In order to play and win the colossal Mega Millions jackpot prize of $353 million on March 15, a player must choose six numbers; five of which are from 1 to 75 while the remaining one is referred to as the Mega Ball and is only chosen from 1 to 15.
If all of the numbers on the ticket of the player are the same digits flashed after the Mega Millions draw, then he is bringing home the total jackpot prize.
It's harder than it looks however, because lottery officials say that the overall likelihood of winning the Mega Millions jackpot is 1 in 258,890,850, while the odds of winning any prize at all is 1 in 14.7. One can still hope to get second place prize though, which amounts to $1 million.
The Mega Millions winning numbers are drawn every Tuesday and Friday around 10:45 p.m. EST, whilst official results of the day's draw are posted shortly after 11 p.m. EST on the main webpage of the Mega Millions Lottery. Winnings will be delivered in two options in case anybody wins: one-time cash payment or in 30 separate payments.
If no one matches all six Mega Millions winning numbers in today's drawing, the next Mega Millions jackpot will most likely go over the $353 million mark by the time the next drawing rolls around on Tuesday, March 25.
