However, there were no winners for the jackpot on Tuesday night, which means that the prize will now be added to the jackpot in the next Mega Millions lottery draw.

Other winners
While there were no winners for the grand prize in the Mega Millions lottery drawing on Tuesday night, there were two lucky players who succeeded in becoming instant millionaires.
One of these players was from California and the other one was from Idaho. Both of these players were able to hit the Match 5, which means that they were able to win a prize of $1 million each.
Had the two players opted to buy the Megaplier option with their ticket, they would have been able to double their prize to $2 million.
Meanwhile, there were also 12 players who were able to hit the Match 4 as well as the gold Mega Ball in Tuesday night’s drawing of the Mega Millions Lottery.
This meant that the players were able to win a prize of $10,000 each. But, there was only one player who hit the Match 4, the Mega Ball and also opted for the Megaplier, which means their prize was $20,000 each.
The rest of the prizes in the Mega Millions lottery drawing on Tuesday night were between $2 and $1,000.
Previous wins
This latest lottery draw comes after a lucky winner from Florida came forward to claim their prize of $1 million after months.
The 51-year old winner had bought the ticket for the Mega Millions drawing on July 29th in Jensen Beach at Cumberland Farms.
It was a Quick Pick ticket and the player was able to match all 5 numbers, but did not match the Mega Ball.
A commission of $1,000 will also be paid to the retailer for selling the winning ticket for the Mega Millions lottery draw.
