Last Friday (04/23/21), the $277 million prize-winning numbers were: 04-28-29-30-60 with a Mega Ball of 25. The Megaplier was 3x.

There was no grand reward winner from Friday’s drawing, nor existed any tickets offered that matched the very first 5 white balls, and minus the gold Mega Ball, for the game’s second prize.

Lottery agents offered 22 tickets nationwide on Friday that matched 4 of the 5 white balls and the Mega Ball for the $10,000 3rd prize. Six of those bought the Megaplier for an extra $1, making their third-prize winnings worth $30,000.

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

Prior to that, the previous winning ticket was sold in Wisconsin on 09/15/20 for a prize worth $119 million. That was just the fifth and final Mega Millions prize won in the 2020 fiscal year.
