Recent winners and lottery changes
Tuesday’s winning numbers were 7 – 13 – 17 – 21 – 45 and the mega ball was 14. The megaplier was 2x.
No one hit the jackpot, but there were four $1 million Match Five winners from PA, North Carolina, West Virginia, and California. No one had the megaplier.
When the next jackpot hits, the grand prize will reset to $20 million, rather than the regular $40 million. Another change that has resulted from reduced sales during the coronavirus pandemic is the roll amount.
For the time being, there is no minimum increase from drawing to drawing. But with the jackpot still over $200 million, that won’t matter as lotto players take a $2 chance at life-changing money. Adding the megaplier is just a buck more.
