Has Anyone Won?
As of now, it’s unclear if anyone has claimed the jackpot. Mega Millions will release the official results soon. Historically, winners have taken time to come forward, and with such a massive prize, the anticipation is only growing.
How to Play Mega Millions
For newcomers, here’s how the game works:
- Select five numbers between 1 and 70 (white balls).
- Pick one number between 1 and 25 (gold Mega Ball).
- Opt for “Quick Pick” to have numbers randomly selected by a computer.
Adding a “Megaplier” for $1 increases non-grand prize winnings by up to 5X, depending on the multiplier drawn.
Where to Buy Tickets
Tickets are available at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores in participating states. Additionally, apps like Jackpocket allow players in select states to purchase tickets online, offering a convenient way to join the excitement.
This year has been monumental for Mega Millions. In March, a New Jersey ticket holder won a $1.1 billion jackpot, though it remains unclaimed. The current $862 million prize could become another historic moment in lottery history.
Stay tuned for updates, and good luck to all the hopeful participants!
Having been a fan of dance music and Armin van Buuren since 2003, I was inspired to start my own electronic music publication with a very simple, and clear goal – to share electronic music with old, and new fans alike. Working alongside a great team has made me keep that goal alive, and build on it.
