Mega Millions estimated $1.13 billion jackpot has one winning ticket

There was one winning ticket sold for Tuesday night's estimated $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot, in New Jersey, the game's officials said. It was the fifth largest pot of gold ever won by Mega Millions players and the first time this year a ticket matched all the numbers needed to get the grand prize.
The New Jersey Lottery says the winning ducat was purchased in a Shoprite Liquors store in Neptune.
Mega Millions had gone more than three months without a jackpot winner, with 31 drawings since two tickets in California did the trick on Dec. 8.
Tuesday's winning numbers were 7, 11, 22, 29, 38, and Mega Ball 4.
The estimated jackpot was the eighth largest in U.S. lottery history. The biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever, $1.602 billion, was won on Aug. 8 of last year, when a single winning ticket was sold in Florida. The largest prize in U.S. lottery history, a $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot, was won in California in February of 2023.
Jackpot winners have the option of taking a lump sum cash payment or having the winnings dolled out over the course of 30 years in annual installments. Only winners who take the annuity option receive the full jackpot total. The estimated lump sum payment for Tuesday night's drawing was $537.5 million before taxes.
Mega Millions drawings are done Tuesday and Friday nights, while Powerball conducts its drawings on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. Powerball had an estimated jackpot of $865 million as of Tuesday night.
To take home the Mega Millions jackpot, players must match all five white balls plus the yellow Mega Ball. Smaller prizes, as low as $2, are available for matching some, but not all, of the drawn numbers. The odds of winning a Mega Millions prize are 1 in 24, but the odds of hitting the jackpot are just 1 in 302,575,350.
Mega Millions tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A standard ticket costs $2, but bonuses can be added for additional fees to increase the payout for non-jackpot prizes.
The next Mega Millions drawing will have a jackpot of an estimated $20 million -- the starting point for jackpot series.
Powerball: Why getting eaten by a shark
is more likely than winning the $1.73 billion
jackpot
You
are about 300 times more likely to be struck by lightning!

Have
you ever wondered what the chances are of being eaten by a shark?
Attacked by a grizzly bear? Or being struck by lightning —
twice?
What about the odds of winning an Olympic medal? Or
becoming president of the United States?
Well, there's a
better chance of any of that happening to you than winning
Wednesday's Powerball jackpot, now
estimated to be $1.73 billion — the
second largest in U.S. lottery history.
The odds of
winning are 1 in approximately 292 million, which are slightly better
than your chances of winning Mega Millions: 1 in about 303
million.
To put those numbers in perspective, the chances of
getting eaten by a shark are 1
in 264 million. (The chances of simply being attacked by one are
higher: 1 in 5 million.)
The chances of being struck by
lightning are about 1 in a million. So you are almost 300 times more
likely to be struck by lightning than you are to win Powerball or
Mega Millions.

Just how unlikely is winning the
lottery?
ASSOCIATED
PRESS
Tim Chartier, a professor of mathematics and computer
science at Davidson College in North Carolina, likes
to think about it this way: Winning the lottery is the equivalent
of flipping heads on a coin 28 times in a row. Twenty-eight
times!
Another way to visualize it, Chartier says, is to have
someone look back at the past nine years, pick one second and then
ask someone else to guess the second they chose. The chances of
picking the correct second are about the same as winning the lottery:
1 in 300 million.
Perhaps that’s why he’s never bought a
lotto ticket.
“No, I've never played,” Chartier says. “But
if it's really meaningful for you to dream about being a billionaire
for half a day or a day, as long as you have the ticket, then it's
really worth doing, despite how incredibly unlikely it is.”
How
the odds of winning are calculated

For Powerball,
winners pick five different numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls
and one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball. To calculate
the odds, there are 11,238,513 possible combinations of choosing five
different numbers from 1 to 69. Multiply that by 26, and you get the
292,201,338-to-1 figure.

winning the lottery all it's cracked up to be?]
For Mega
Millions, jackpot winners pick five different numbers from 1 to
70 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 25 for the gold
“Mega” ball. To calculate the odds, there are 12,103,024 possible
combinations for choosing five different numbers from 1 to 70.
Multiply that by 25, and you get the 302,575,350-to-1 figure.
What
you can do to improve your odds

There are, however, a few things you can
do to improve your chances.
“You do improve your odds when
you buy more tickets,” Chartier says. “If you buy 100 tickets,
you are 100 times more likely to win. But it's equivalent to me
saying you get 100 guesses for that one second that I chose from the
past nine years.”
And picking random numbers rather than the
ones you always play increases the odds that you don't have to share
the jackpot.
“We have a tendency to pick similar numbers,
because we often base them on things like birthdays and so forth,”
Chartier says. “So picking random numbers really increases the odds
that if you win, you won't have to share."
