Here are the winning numbers in Tuesday’s drawing:
17-25-26-53-60: Mega Ball: 16
The estimated jackpot for the drawing is $90 million. The cash option is about $41.9 million. Since there was a jackpot winner, the top prize resets to $20 million for the next drawing.
According to the game’s official website, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.
Players pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers — five different numbers from 1 to 70 and one number from 1 to 25 — or select Easy Pick. A player wins the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing.
Jackpot winners may choose whether to receive 30 annual payments, each five percent higher than the last, or a lump-sum payment.
Mega Millions drawings are Tuesdays and Fridays and are offered in 45 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $5 each.
