No one won this weekend’s Mega Millions lottery jackpot, so that means the ticket you buy this week could equal big bucks. To see how big, check the report below.
The new Mega Millions lottery total has shot up for this weeks drawing to an impressive $55 million.
The last prize given away by the Mega Millions lottery was for a meager $2 million dollars. What a difference a Mega Ball number makes. The official website reports on the small but life changing win:
“The May 27 Mega Millions drawing produced two Match 5 winners, one each in New York and Texas. The Texas ticket included the optional Megaplier purchase for an additional $1, and the lucky player was rewarded with a $2 million prize when the 2x Megaplier was drawn.
“It marks the third Megaplied Match 5 prize won in Texas since the game was relaunched last October with the enhanced Megaplier option, following earlier wins at $5 million and $4 million. Six other multi-million Match 5 prizes with the Megaplier have been won – two at $5 million (in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania) and four at $3 million (in Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia).
“Overall, there have been almost 14 million Megaplied winners at all levels since last October, with prizes ranging from $2 all the way up to $5 million. Of those, 250 won the game’s Megaplied third prize, matching four numbers plus the Mega Ball, for enhanced prizes of $10,000 to $25,000 for just a $1 additional purchase. If added to any ticket, the Megaplier applies to all non-jackpot prizes.”
