After our blog posts last week concerning the increasing size of the Megamillions jackpot across the pond the Lotto Central team were keen to review the results of the Megamillions draw on Tuesday night .
The Megamillions numbers drawn on Tuesday 19th August 2014 were 22-39-56-67-71 , the Megaball was 15 with the jackpot standing at $160 million .
The draw organisers confirm that no ticket holders won the jackpot on Tuesday night which means that the estimated jackpot for the next Megamillions draw on Friday 22nd August 2014 will be an estimated $180 million .
In Tuesday’s draw there were two ticket holders who matched the five main balls but did not match Megaball but nevertheless went home with a not too shabby $1,000,000 for matching the five main balls.
Next up were 37 ticket holders who matched four main balls and the Megaball who won $5,000 each , 5 of the 37 ticket holders had selected the Megaplier option by paying an additional $1 for their ticket , these 5 ticket holders won $20,000 each as the Megaplier for Tuesday night’s drawing was 4x.(n.b. figures apply to all states apart from California who operate payments on a pari-mutuel basis ).
So with an estimated $180 million jackpot up for grabs on Friday 22nd August the Lotto Central team are heading over to the guys at the Lotter to get on the Megamillions and hopefully defy the 1 in 258,890,850 odds of winning !!
