Mega Millions jackpot soars to $421M, two winning tickets get millions
No one won the Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday night so the jackpot will climb to $421 million for Friday night’s drawing, according to the Mega Millions website.
The cash option will be $290.9 million.
While no lottery player hit the $396 million grand prize, two tickets won million-dollar prizes by matching all five white balls. A ticket sold in Texas won $1 million, while a Rhode Islander had the Megaplier to win $3 million.
The winning numbers drawn on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022 were: 3 – 12 – 38 – 53 – 58 and Megaball 13. The Megaplier was 3X.
The Mega Millions has not been hit since someone in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, won a $108 million jackpot back in October.
