(AsiaGameHub) – The jackpots for both the Mega Millions and Powerball lotteries went unclaimed in the drawings held on Friday and Saturday, respectively. As a new week of lottery gaming commences, players are hoping to secure a win.
Mega Millions Jackpot Rolls Over to $60M
The Mega Millions drawing on Friday concluded without a jackpot winner. The game has experienced a brief pause in jackpot wins, which is understandable given that two major prizes were claimed in close succession recently.
For context, a $533 million grand prize was won on March 10, making an Illinois player half a billion dollars richer. Then, just two drawings later, an Ohio player surprisingly claimed the $60 million prize from the March 17 drawing.
However, the March 20 drawing did not result in another jackpot winner. Additionally, no player managed to win the game’s second-tier prize by matching the five white numbers.
The winning numbers for the March 20 drawing were 11, 20, 51, 55, and 63, plus the gold Mega Ball 4.
Several players did successfully match four white numbers and the Mega Ball to win the third-tier prize. Four of these players each won $20,000 with a 2X multiplier, while two others took home $30,000 each thanks to a 3X multiplier.
The jackpot has now reached $60 million for the Tuesday drawing, with a cash option of $27 million.
Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $133M for Monday Drawing
Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot has now increased to $133 million, offering a one-time lump sum option of $60.3 million. The next drawing is scheduled to occur later today.
The previous drawing, held last Saturday, saw no one win either the jackpot or the game’s second-tier prize of $1 million (or more, depending on Power Play).
Nevertheless, a significant 20 players matched four white numbers and the Powerball to win the third-tier prize. This included fifteen players who each received $50,000, as well as five who won $100,000 instead, thanks to Power Play. The Power Play multiplier was 2X for the March 21 drawing.
The winning numbers for that drawing were 12, 28, 26, 41, and 59, plus the Powerball 2. Had a player matched all of these numbers, they would have won $123 million or $55.8 million, depending on whether they chose the annuity or the one-time payment.
The upcoming Powerball drawing will take place within a few hours of this publication.
