There is still time to play because no tickets with all six numbers were sold in the most recent drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery. This means that the prize for Tuesday’s drawing is now expected to be $93 million.
Lottery officials say that in Minnesota, one ticket was sold that had five numbers but not the Mega number. The player chose the Megaplier option, which multiplies any win that isn’t the jackpot by the Megaplier number drawn for an extra $1. This prize is worth $2 million.
On Friday, 29, 46, 53, 69, and 70 were chosen, and 23 was the Mega number. The prize was thought to be $77 million.
This was the fifth drawing since the last time a six-number ticket was bought.
The California Lottery says that the chances of getting all five numbers and the Mega number are 1 in 302,575,350. There is a 1 in 24 chance of getting a prize.
The Mega Millions game can be played in 45 states, the DC, and the US Virgin Islands.
