Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs to $90 Million After No Winner This Week

Mega Millions Jackpot Rolls Over Again, Climbs to $90 Million
The latest Mega Millions drawing didn’t produce any big jackpot winners, which means the top prize is now growing once again – hitting a cool $90 million for the next round. The cash option for that jackpot? About $40.8 million.
In Tuesday’s drawing, the winning numbers were 20, 24, 46, 59 and 65, with the Mega Ball 7. Matching all those numbers would’ve landed someone an $80 million jackpot, but no ticket hit the combo this time. Even the second-tier prizes stayed quiet – no one managed to grab the seven-figure win by matching all five white balls.
A few lucky players still walked away with solid winnings. Four tickets matched four numbers plus the Mega Ball. Two of them will pocket $20,000 each, and two others will take home $30,000 apiece thanks to the 3X Megaplier. It was a relatively low-key night compared to the recent Mega Millions buzz.
The lottery recently made headlines with two major jackpots hitting just days apart – including one $980 million monster won in Georgia and a $90 million prize snagged in New Jersey.
Mega Millions officials are warning players to watch out for scammers taking advantage of the game’s popularity. Scammers have been popping up online, using fake logos and pretending to represent Mega Millions in order to trick people into handing over money or personal info.
