Mega Millions Payouts
Like the previous draw, the Mega Millions draw on 22 June 2018 failed to produce a jackpot winner – division one (five correct numbers + mega ball).
There was, however, one notable winner who managed to guess five of the winning numbers, bagging an amount of $1 million (approximately R13,432,900.00). However, the winner didn’t manage to guess the megaplier, and therefore, to double the winnings.
There were also 18 winners who all managed to guess four of the winning numbers and the mega ball, and therefore winning a decent amount of $10,000 (R134,329.00). Four of them managed to double their winnings to $20,000 (R268,658.00).
Meanwhile, at the bottom end of the winnings table, some 339,120 people managed to match just the mega ball, and they won $2 (R26.87) each. Of the 339,120 winners in this category, a lucky 49,321 managed to double their prize money to $4 (R53.73).
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 R1.9 billion) jackpot amount – though the actual winnings were less as the winner needed to factor in federal and state-level tax obligations.
As a result of not having had a jackpot winner on Friday, 15 June 2018, the next Mega Millions jackpot increases to an exciting amount of $212 million (R2.8 billion).
The next Mega Millions draw will be on Tuesday, 26 June 2018.
