The winning numbers chosen Tuesday in the bi-weekly Mega Millions lotto game were 7-8-20-36-39, with the Mega Ball number 22 and the Megaplier 3x.

The jackpot is estimated at $402 million.

Mega Millions drawing is on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. ET. The chances of winning the jackpot with a $2 ticket are 1-in-302,575,350.

Last Friday (05/07/21), the $370 million prize-winning numbers were: 05-10-19-21-50 with a Mega Ball of 10. The Megaplier was 4x.

There was no grand reward winner from Friday’s drawing, but vendors offered 2 tickets in Florida that each matched the first 5 white balls and minus the gold Mega Ball for the video game’s second prize of $1 million. Neither of those second-prize tickets purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1, which would have made their second prizes worth $4 million.

Vendors sold 39 tickets nationwide on Friday that matched 4 of the five white balls and the Mega Ball for the $10,000 3rd reward. Twelve of those bought the Megaplier for an extra $1, making their third-prize winnings worth $40,000.

The last grand prize jackpot winner was from a ticket for $96 million sold in New York on 02/16/2021. The lottery offered the 2nd grand-prize ticket this calendar year after a ticket offered in Michigan on 01/22/21 for $1.05 billion, which was the second-largest prize in Mega Millions history.

Before that, the previous winning ticket was sold in Wisconsin on 09/15/20 for a jackpot worth $119 million. That was only the fifth, and final Mega Millions jackpot won in the 2020 calendar year.
