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 $256 million (R3.5 billion).
The next Mega Millions draw will be on Tuesday, 3 July 2018.
