Well, by now you know that you didn’t win the Mega Millions drawing Tuesday. The good news is that no one won the grand jackpot, giving you a chance to win even more this Friday, January 24. Check the sneak peak preview below to see what the new totals are.
The new Mega Millions total has risen to $61 million, with an estimated cash value of $33 million.
The Mega Millions lottery website is reporting on the recent small scale win of $4 million (if you can call $4 million small):
"A $4 million prize awaits the lucky holder of a winning Match 5 Mega Millions ticket in Texas. The ticket, which included the optional Megaplier purchase for an extra $1, is worth $4 million thanks to the 4x Megaplier drawn on January 17. The ticket correctly matched the five white balls – 1, 10, 26, 31 and 51 – but missed the Mega Ball of 11.
"The $4 million winning ticket was sold at the Right Choice Food Mart #9 in San Antonio, Texas. It is the second Megaplied Match 5 prize won in Texas since Mega Millions was relaunched in October; the first was worth $5 million. North Carolina and Pennsylvania have also sold Match 5 winning tickets that included the Megaplier, worth $3 and $5 million, respectively."
The website also offers a few tips to help you if you do win big:
“If you win a prize greater than $600, the state in which you won is required to notify the Internal Revenue Service. For tax information, here is a link to the IRS Web Site: www.irs.gov
"We strongly encourage winners of large prizes to get professional financial advice. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has a tool to help you find a personal financial specialist. To use it, click here: PFS Credential Holder Directory
