Mega Millions winning numbers are to be revealed soon on tonight's draw, March 21, 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. The jackpot prize is now a whopping amount: US$15M!
Today's $15M million jackpot has a lump-sum cash option of $8 million.
No one matched the winning numbers in Tuesday night's drawing, which were 7, 20, 40, 54, 69 with a Mega ball of 12 -- when the jackpot was $400 million.
Two lucky Mega Millions lottery winners won last Tuesday, March 18 with the winning numbers of 11, 19, 24, 33, 51 - and the Mega Ball was 7. One ticket was sold at a Sunoco convenience store on Florida's Space Coast and the other was purchased at a Lady's Liquor in La Plata, Md. The two Mega Millions winners will split the $414 million Mega Millions jackpot, each taking home $207 million. No one of the two has stepped up to claim their Mega Millions jackpot prize.
In order to play a ticket and win the whopping Mega Millions jackpot prize of $15 million on March 21, 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 that player 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 become $20 million by the time the next drawing rolls around on Tuesday, March 25.
