The winning figures for Friday’s Mega Millions drawing for an estimated$1.28 billion were 13-36-45-57-67 with a Mega Ball of 14. Friday’s jackpot was the lottery’s alternate-largest prize in its 20-time history, and it came with a cash value option of$742.2 million. The coming delineation is Tuesday at 1100p.m. ET, according to the lottery’s website. The Mega Millions jackpot record is $1.537 billion, won by a single ticket vended in South Carolina in 2018. That’s the alternate-largest jackpot for any US lottery game, though it’s the world’s largest lottery prize won by just one ticket, according to Mega Millions. The largest jackpot of any US lottery game was$1.586 billion – a Powerball prize from January 13, 2016, participated by winners in California, Florida, and Tennessee. Timothy Schultz, who won a$ 28 million Powerball jackpot in 1999 and now hosts a lottery podcast, told CNN winning can “really turn your life on its head.” He said after he checked his figures in the review and realized he won, some of the first calls he made were to attorneys and fiscal counsels. “It can change enough much everything, connections, your capability to live a life,” he said. “I suppose it can buy time, which can be inestimable. And, you know, it’s one of the most surreal life-changing effects that can conceivably be to notoriety.” He said working with a fiscal counsel will profit people who have no experience with millions because a counsel will help the winners understand what they can do with the winnings. Schultz said he didn’t consider himself to be materialistic before he won so his most extravagant purchases were some buses and real estate. “I set up that for myself and for a lot of people that I’ve met and canvassed that if you win the lottery jackpot it magnifies, or at least it can magnify your personality. It doesn’t inescapably change who you are,” he said. He said while he infrequently plays the lottery these days, he did buy one ticket for Friday night’s delineation. Mega Millions of jacks start at$ 20 million for the annuitized prize and grow grounded on game deals and interest rates for 30-time US coffers. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in. Seven other less precious prizes depend on how numerous and what type of balls a ticket matches. Odds of winning a$ 1 million runner-up prize – if a ticket matches the five white balls but not the Mega Millions ball – are 1 in. Mega Millions of tickets are vented in 45 countries, Washington DC, and the US Virgin Islands, with delineations on Tuesday and Friday. Tickets are vented online in Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and DC, but the purchaser must be in that state.
