$650M Mega Millions jackpot up for grabs
After no ticket hit all six numbers in Friday’s Mega Millions drawing, a $650 million jackpot, one of the largest jackpots in the game’s history, is up for grabs Tuesday night.
Tonight’s winning Mega Millions numbers are: 2, 49, 50, 61, 70 and 14.
The jackpot has been steadily increasing since two winning tickets were sold in California in early December last year.
A ticket matching all six numbers tonight would be the seventh largest Mega Millions prize awarded, according to lottery officials.
The cash payout for the $650 million jackpot would be an estimated $308.6 million.
Since Mega Millions launched in May 2022, 21 jackpots have been hit during March, including two worth more than $500 million.
The largest Mega Millions jackpot hit to date was won in Florida last August, with the winner purchasing a ticket worth $1.602 billion.
“Through 24 drawings in this jackpot run, there have been almost 16.2 million winning tickets at all non-jackpot prize levels, ranging from $2 up to $4 million,” lottery officials said. “These include 26 second-tier prizes of $1 million or more, won in 17 different jurisdictions from coast to coast: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.”
