The winning numbers for Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing stood at 18, 35, 45, 60 and 65, with Mega Ball 17. No player matched all five white balls plus the Mega Ball to claim the jackpot, sending the prize to Friday's drawing on April 3. This rollover builds anticipation as the top prize swells for the next 11 p.m. event.
Drawing Details and Purchase Options
Mega Millions drawings occur every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. In Michigan, players buy in-store or online tickets until 10:45 p.m. on draw nights. Each $5 ticket requires selecting five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball from 1 to 24, or opting for the Easy Pick random generation. View the live draw on the Mega Millions YouTube channel, with results posted on the official site and Michigan Lottery page.
Prize Tiers and Built-In Multiplier
The game now embeds a multiplier of two, three, four, five or 10 times into every ticket at purchase, replacing the former Megaplier add-on. This boosts non-jackpot prizes across tiers:
- Five white balls plus Mega Ball: jackpot
- Five white balls: $2 million to $10 million
- Four white balls plus Mega Ball: $20,000 to $100,000
- Four white balls: $1,000 to $5,000
- Three white balls plus Mega Ball: $400 to $2,000
- Three white balls: $20 to $100
- Two white balls plus Mega Ball: $20 to $100
- One white ball plus Mega Ball: $14 to $70
- Mega Ball only: $10 to $50
Lower-tier wins gain protection from modest multipliers, while higher ones see substantial lifts from the maximum 10x factor.
Odds, Payout Choices and Shared Wins
Securing the jackpot demands matching five white balls and the Mega Ball, with odds of 1 in 290,472,336. Winners choose between annuity payments—one initial sum followed by 29 annual installments, each 5% larger than the last—or a lump-sum cash option drawn from the prize pool. The annuity structure counters inflation to sustain purchasing power over decades. Multiple jackpot tickets split the prize equally.
