Despite there being no grand prize lottery winners on Tuesday night, one player from Virginia managed to become an instant millionaire after hitting the Match 5.
However, a player in Delaware, New Jersey, and another in New York managed to hit the Match 5 with the Megaplier, winning $3 million apiece.
There were 105 players that hit the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball, winning $10,000 each. Meanwhile, 16 of those players hit the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball with the Megaplier and won $30,000.
The other wins from the night ranged between $2 and $1,500. A total of 3,428,412 players won prizes from the Friday night jackpot.
There have been 28 drawings since the jackpot was last won on April 15 in Tennessee. If the $790 million jackpot is won on Tuesday, it would become the third largest prize in Mega Millions history.
Jackpot winners can receive their grand prize winnings through a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity.
Those who opt for the annuity receive one immediate payment, followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
Mega Millions can be played in 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands.
