The Mega Millions jackpot dropped to $20 million for Friday’s drawing after a lucky New Jersey resident scooped up a staggering $1.13 billion jackpot earlier in the week. The winning numbers for the $20 million jackpot were drawn at 11 p.m. ET on Friday, with the player having the option to receive a lump sum payment of around $9.5 million after taxes.
The winning numbers for Friday, March 29 were: 30, 60, 11, 33, 38 and the Megaball number 16. Players have the chance to increase non-jackpot prizes with the Megaplier feature, which can multiply winnings by two, three, four, or five for an additional $1 per play.
To participate in the Mega Millions, players must select six numbers, including five white balls from 1 to 70 and one gold Mega Ball from 1 to 25. Tickets can be bought in person at various locations like gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and select airport terminals. In addition, online ticket purchases are available in specific states through the Jackpocket app.
