Mega Millions Payouts
Like the previous draw, the Mega Millions draw on 1 June 2018 failed to produce a jackpot winner – division one (five correct numbers + mega ball).
There was however, one notable winner who all managed to guess five of the winning numbers, and therefore winning a decent amount of $1 million (approximately 12.6 million). And thanks to the 3x megaplier, the lucky winners doubled winnings to $3 million (approximately R38 million).
Meanwhile, at the bottom end of the winnings table, some 276,125 people managed to match just the mega ball, and they won $2 (R25.38) each. Of the 276,125 winners in this category, a lucky 45,561 managed to triple their prize money to $6 (76.14).
The Mega Millions Draw and Jackpot
The last time the Mega Millions winning numbers produced a jackpot winner was on 4 May 2018. The lucky ticket, sold at Fat Daddy’s Road Dog in Dayton, Ohio meant the lucky winner walked off with the entire $142 million (approximately R1.8 billion) jackpot amount – though the actual winnings would be less as the winner would need to factor in federal and state-level tax obligations.
As a result of not having had a jackpot winner on Friday, 1 June 2018, the next Mega Millions jackpot increases to an exciting amount of $110 million (R1.3 billion).
The next Mega Millions draw will be on Tuesday, 5 June 2018.
