Winning Numbers for the Mega Jackpot
Since the jackpot was last won, 29 drawings have taken place. More than 23.2 million tickets have won prizes in those drawings, spanning all nine prize tiers. In the drawing on July 21, a lucky participant from Michigan took home $1 million. The winning ticket was purchased at Hunter and Wayne Liquor in Westland, which is situated at 35201 Hunter Street. About 25 miles west of Detroit is Westland.
The second-largest Mega Millions jackpot won this year would be won if a player scooped tonight’s prize. A Maine player scooped the $1.348 billion Mega Millions jackpot in January. The jackpot was the biggest ever won in Michigan and ranked sixth in the history of the American lottery.

The Chances of Winning the $940 Million Mega Millions!
Spending $10 on five tickets increases your odds of winning the jackpot from 1 in 302,575,350 to barely 5 in 303,000,000. It still applies if you spend $100. Therefore, even if you spend a lot of money on tickets, it’s highly unlikely that you will win the jackpot.
According to a study of lottery data by the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the University of Maryland, players lose, on average, 35 cents for every dollar they spend on the lottery.
According to a Howard Center for Investigative Journalism examination of lottery data, for every $1 spent on advertising nationally, lotteries have made nearly $128 in ticket sales.
