A Fortune in 5s as the Jackpot Grows!

RELEASE DATE: 5/22/2019

A plethora of 5s turned up in the Mega Millions drawing for Tuesday, May 21, with the end result that the jackpot rolls to nearly $400 million for Friday, May 24. No ticket matched all six numbers drawn Tuesday night – the white balls 10, 50, 55, 56 and 58, plus the gold Mega Ball 15 – although (you guessed it) five tickets matched the five white balls to win the game’s second prize.

Even the Megaplier was drawn as 5X Tuesday night. That meant that two of the five Match 5 winning tickets are worth a whopping $5 million because they included the optional Megaplier purchase – one each in Pennsylvania and Texas. The other three Match 5 winning tickets were sold in Connecticut, Florida and Wyoming, and are worth $1 million each.

An estimated $393 million, which would tie the tenth largest jackpot in Mega Millions history, is up for grabs on Friday, with an estimated cash value of $244.2 million.

The May 21 drawing produced a total of 878,307 winning tickets at all prize levels. Since the last jackpot was won in Missouri on March 12, there have been almost 12.7 million winning tickets at all prize levels, including 23 worth $1 million or more.

In addition to the $50 million prize won on March 12, other Mega Millions jackpots awarded this year include $437 million in New York on January 1 (the eighth largest in the game’s history) and $273 million in New Jersey on March 1.
