The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s lottery drawing has increased to an estimated $119 million with a cash option valued at $59.1 million.

The winning numbers were: 2, 20, 47, 55 and 59. The Mega Ball drawn was 19 with a Megaplier of 2X.

While no one across the country hit Tuesday’s $87 million jackpot, seven second-prize tickets matching five numbers but not the Mega Ball were sold. A ticket bought in Texas is worth $3 million while two tickets purchased in New York and one apiece sold in Florida, Georgia, Ohio and West Virginia are valued at $1 million apiece.

In New Jersey, five $10,000 tickets were sold. The third-prize tickets, each of which matched four numbers, were bought at the following locations, according to lottery officials.

  • 7-Eleven on Passaic Avenue in Nutley
  • Jasmine’s Family Convenience Store on Hornberger Avenue in Roebling
  • Sicklerville News on Williamstown Road in Sicklerville
  • 2 tickets at Woodridge Wine and Liquor on Hackensack Street in Wood-Ridge

Tuesday’s winning numbers were: 5, 9, 15, 16 and 17. The Mega Ball drawn was 25 with a Megaplier of 3X.

The odds of a $2 ticket matching all the winning numbers are 302,575,350 to 1. Players have a 1 in 12,607,306 chance of a ticket matching five numbers but not the Mega Ball and winning at least $1 million.

Mega Millions drawings are held on Tuesday and Friday in 45 states, along with Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot has an estimated value of $1.5 billion as of Friday morning and is potentially the third-largest in U.S. lottery history. The cash option is worth at least $745.9 million.

Mega Millions How-to-Play Brochure (Spanish)

STEP 1

Get a Mega Millions playslip from your favorite Texas Lottery® retailer or create a play using the Texas Lottery app.

Select five (5) numbers from 1 to 70 in the play area of the playboard or mark the "QP" box and the terminal will select your five (5) numbers. OR, simply ask your lottery retailer for a "Quick Pick" and the terminal will pick all your numbers!

Pick your Mega Ball. Select one (1) Mega Ball number from 1 to 25 in the lower yellow play area of the playboard, or mark the "QP" box and the terminal will select your one (1) Mega Ball number.

MULTI-DRAW

You can play the same sets of numbers for more than one drawing. Mark the appropriate "MULTI-DRAW" box to play up to 10 consecutive drawings.

WHEN YOU BUY, MEGAPLY®!

Play the Megaplier® feature for an extra $1 per playboard and you could increase your non-grand/jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times!

Mark the "YES" box under "MEGAPLIER" to select this feature for all playboards on the playslip.

The Megaplier number will be chosen from a field of 15 numbers according to the following frequency: one 5, three 4's, six 3's, five 2's. Any non-Grand prize you win on a Mega Millions play will be multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn if you purchased the Megaplier feature.

Mark "30 ANNUAL PAYMENTS" if you want to receive your prize in 30 annual installments.

The Grand Prize is pari-mutuel and will be divided equally by the number of Grand Prize winners.
