Tuesday night’s 07/26/22 Mega Millions jackpot is worth $830 million, with a cash-value option worth $487.9 million. The total jackpot could increase depending on the number of tickets sold around the country prior to the drawing.

The winning numbers last Friday (07/22/22) for the $630 million jackpot were: 14-40-60-64-66 with a Mega Ball of 16. The Megaplier was 3x.

There was no grand prize winner on Friday, but there were four tickets sold that matched the first five white balls, and minus the gold Mega Ball, for the game’s second prize. One of those second-prize tickets—sold in Virginia—was worth $1 million. The other three tickets—one each in Delaware, New Jersey and New York—are worth $3 million apiece since they each purchased the Megaplier for $1 extra.

There were 105 tickets sold nationwide on Friday that matched four of the five white balls plus the Mega Ball for the $10,000 third prize. Sixteen of those purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1, which made their third-prize winnings worth $30,000 apiece.
