The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s drawing has swollen to $47 million after no one secured the jackpot on Tuesday. The recent draws have seen a mix of wins and near-misses, adding excitement to the already popular lottery game.
Early in March, a New Jersey player clinched an astonishing $1.13 billion, and just last week, a player in Illinois walked away with $552 million. The Mega Millions numbers for the most recent drawing on Friday, June 14, were 1, 25, 26, 31, 65, and the Megaball was 2. This set the stage for a single lucky player to enjoy an estimated cash value of $22.6 million in a lump-sum payment after taxes.
Meanwhile, in Largo, Florida, two separate winning Mega Millions tickets, each worth $4 million, were sold at two Publix supermarket locations within close proximity on the same day. Both tickets had a Megaplier of four, transforming $1 million prizes into a remarkable $4 million each. The winning numbers for this draw comprised 1-5-7-22-24, with a Megaball of 8.
Moving to Georgia, a Mega Millions player in Dacula narrowly missed claiming the $30 million jackpot but still secured a life-changing prize of $1 million after matching every number except the gold Mega Ball. Another lucky player in Georgia bagged $40,000 after correctly matching four numbers and the Mega Ball, but with the added benefit of the Megaplier option, turned their $10,000 prize into $40,000.
Such stories continue to keep the appeal of the Mega Millions lottery game strong and attract players from across the country, fueling excitement and anticipation for the next big draw. With the jackpot currently at $47 million, it’s anticipated to draw a surge of hopeful players looking to grab a life-altering prize. Stay tuned for the latest winning numbers and compelling stories of lucky ticket holders as the Mega Millions frenzy continues to captivate players nationwide.
