Mega Millions Jackpot Lottery Winner March 26 2024: Mega Millions 3 26 24 Winning Numbers
According to officials from the Mega Millions lottery on March 26 2024, an unidentified individual from New Jersey, USA, has won a staggering $1.13 billion prize. One ticket matched all six numbers selected on Tuesday, according to lottery authorities, as reported by NBC News.
The lucky winner, a 59-year-old man who preferred to stay anonymous, picked up his winning ticket at a BP gas station on West 9 Mile Road in Southfield on February 11th. Curiously, this wasn’t his initial encounter with chance in the lottery. He had already won the identical sum in the Fantasy 5 Double Play drawing on August 31, 2023, with the same combination of numbers (02-06-11-20-23).
For the first time this year, a ticket matched all the numbers needed to receive the big prize, and it was the fifth-largest reward ever won by Mega Millions players. This was the ninth biggest US lottery jackpot ever, according to the source.
The lucky winner of the mystery jackpot can choose between receiving their money all at once or spreading it out over 30 years with yearly installments. According to NBC News, the anticipated lump sum payment for Tuesday night’s drawing was $537.5 million before taxes.
Before Tuesday night’s massive win, the Mega Millions jackpot had remained unclaimed for over three months, with 30 consecutive draws having failed to produce a winner. Two winning tickets were sold at the same gas station in Los Angeles in December of last year, splitting the $394 million jackpot, the last time the game’s big prize was won.
The drawing for Mega Millions takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays, whereas the drawing for Powerball takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Mega Millions prizes have a 1 in 24 chance of winning, but the odds of actually winning the jackpot are a meager 1 in 302,575,350, according to CBS News.
