Wed Nov 20 06:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Mega Millions Jackpot Soars to $420 Million After No Winner on Friday

**[City, State] –** The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to a staggering estimated $420 million for Tuesday night’s drawing, lottery officials announced. This follows Friday’s drawing, which produced no grand prize winner. The lucky ticket holder could choose a lump-sum payment of approximately $191.7 million after taxes.

The winning numbers from Tuesday’s drawing were 5, 35, 50, 51, and 59, with a Megaball of 8. Lottery officials urge players to check their tickets carefully.

This latest jackpot comes just months after a $1.1 billion Mega Millions prize was won in New Jersey in March, a prize that remains unclaimed. Lottery officials have confirmed that unclaimed jackpots are not unprecedented.

Tickets can be purchased at various retail locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. In select states, online ticket purchasing is also available through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network. Players can choose their numbers or opt for a Quick Pick for randomly generated selections. Adding the Megaplier option for an extra dollar can increase non-jackpot winnings.

Lottery officials remind players to play responsibly. For information on problem gambling resources, see the contact information provided at the end of the original text.
