Will a $2 ticket make you a multimillionaire? Will something fortuitous happen in this Mega Millions drawing?
After no one matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball in the Tuesday, June 11, drawing for $30 million, the jackpot jumped to $47 million with a cash option of $22.6 million for Friday, June 14. Friday’s winning numbers were 1-25-26-31-65 and the Mega Ball was 2. Megaplier was 3x. We’ll see if there’s a winner or another rollover.
In case you’re wondering, Tuesday’s winning numbers were 1-5-7-22-24 and the Mega Ball was 8. Megaplier was 4x. Though Tuesday’s drawing resulted in a rollover, it wasn’t all bad news: In fact, no one could predict the odds of two tickets purchased from two Publix stores on the same street in the same city for the same Mega Millions drawing. But it happened June 11.
According to the Florida Lottery, there were two secondary winners, each winning $1 million for matching five numbers. The tickets came from Publix, 10500 Ulmerton Road, Suite 800, Largo, and Publix, 10411 Ulmerton Road, Largo.
