What You Need to Know – NBC Chicago

Tuesday’s drawing in the multi-state Mega Millions game again had no winner, sending the game’s jackpot soaring.

No one won the $681 million jackpot Tuesday night, lottery officials said. That jackpot will rise to an estimated $740 million for the game’s next drawing.

Two players in Kansas and Michigan matched five numbers, and each earned $1 million in the game. A total of 32 other players matched four numbers and the golden “Mega Ball”, and won $10,000 in the game.

Here you will find all the other details you need to know.

When is the next drawing?

The next draw is on Friday around 10pm. Draws are held every week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

How do you play Mega Millions?

There are multiple ways to win the Mega Millions drawing, but the most important thing to know is that each set of numbers costs $2. Each ticket contains five numbers and one “Mega Ball” number.

Players can also purchase a “Megaplier” feature for $1 per entry, which will increase non-jackpot prize winnings by up to five times, officials said.

How to win Mega Millions?

There are nine different prize levels in the game, culminating in the jackpot, which is awarded to players who match all five numbers and the “Mega Ball” number.

If you match all five main numbers without the Mega Ball, you will earn a whopping $1 million. However, Megaplier players can increase this amount to a maximum of $5 million.

If you guess the golden “Mega Ball” correctly, you will receive a prize of $2, while if you guess three regular numbers correctly, you will receive a prize of $10.
