Mega Millions lottery: Did you win Tuesday’s $ 432 million Mega Millions lottery? Results, winning numbers (1/5/2021)

The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s draw has risen to $ 432 million, making it possibly the 10th largest in the game’s history.

The winning numbers were: 20, 43, 51, 55 and 57. The drawn Mega Ball was 4 with a megaplier of 2x.

While no one won Friday’s $ 401 million jackpot, a second prize, a $ 1 million ticket, was sold in Texas. This corresponds to five numbers, but not the Mega Ball.

in New Jersey, a third prize of $ 10,000 was purchased at Food Station in Elm Avenue in Woodbury Heights, lottery officials said. It matched four numbers plus the Mega Ball.

The winning numbers on New Year’s Day were: 8, 24, 53, 68 and 69. The Mega Ball was drawn 7.

The last time a lottery player won the best Mega Millions jackpot was on September 15, 2020, when a $ 120 million ticket was sold in Wisconsin. Two top pots were hit in 2020 in New Jersey. An anonymous winner is claiming the $ 202 million prize won on February 11 with a ticket sold in Edison and a $ 124 million ticket purchased in Bayonne for the July 24 draw.

Mega Millions tickets cost $ 2 each and in New Jersey must be purchased on the night of the drawing at 10:45 p.m. The chance that a ticket can hit the jackpot by matching five numbers and the Mega Ball is 302,575,350 to 1. Players have a 1 in 12 607 306 chance of winning the second prize of at least $ 1 million by five numbers fit.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington DC and the US Virgin Islands.

The New Jersey Lottery office in Lawrence is open to the public by appointment. You can still claim your profits – provided they are less than $ 599.50 – in person at any dealer.

The lottery also accepts claims by mail, although officials warn that payments may be temporarily delayed. Winners are advised to make copies of the claim form and the winning ticket for their records.
