Mega Millions Payouts
Like the previous draw, the Mega Millions draw on 5 June 2018 failed to produce a jackpot winner – division one (five correct numbers + mega ball).
There were no winners in division, i.e. those who managed to guess five of the six winning numbers.
There were, however, 11 winners who all managed to guess four of the six winning numbers and the mega ball. Each winner bagged a decent amount of $10,000 (approximately R127,410.00). And thanks to the 2x megaplier in this latest Mega Millions draw, one lucky winner doubled winnings to $20,000 (approximately R254,820.00).
Meanwhile, at the bottom end of the winnings table, some 340,244 people managed to match just the mega ball, and they won $2 (R25.48) each. Of the 340,244 winners in this category, a lucky 55,533 managed to double their prize money to $4 (R50.96).
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 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 Tuesday, 5 June 2018, the next Mega Millions jackpot increases to an exciting amount of $127 million (R1.6 billion).
The next Mega Millions draw will be on Friday, 8 June 2018.
