The Mega Millions jackpot has now topped $600 million. No one matched all six numbers in Tuesday's drawing so the jackpot will be an estimated $630 million with a cash option of $359.7 million for the Friday, July 22 drawing, according to the Mega Millions website. The jackpot will be the fifth largest for the Mega Millions ever and the 12th largest lottery in the United States (see charts below). The numbers drawn on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 were: 2 - 31 - 32 - 37 - 70 and Megaball 25.
The Megaplier was 3x. While no one won it all, four tickets sold in Arizona, California, North Carolina and New Hampshire matched all five white balls to win $1 million prizes. The Mega Millions has not been won since April 15 when a ticket sold in Tennessee won $20 million – it was the second time in two drawings the jackpot was won. Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot is at $101 million with a cash option of $58.7 million for Wednesday night, according to the Powerball website. Mega Millions officials said, since the start of 2022, five Texas Lottery players have won second-tier Mega Millions prizes of $1 million or larger, including two during the current jackpot run. A Houston resident claimed just over $1 million in May and an Ingram resident claimed a $2 million second-tier prize in June. Players win the second-tier prize when the first five numbers are a match, but not the Mega Ball number. Mega Millions is played by choosing five numbers from a field of 70 and one Mega Ball number from the second field of 25 numbers. To win the Mega Millions jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn including the Mega Ball, the release said.
