The Mega Millions is back in the big-jackpot game, as according to Lottery officials the Nov. 26 drawing uses the new matrix for Mega Millions.
The new matrix features more numbers for Match 5 and fewer Mega numbers; the changes give players a chance to win more prizes. The changes are supposed to increase the size of jackpots.
According to the Mega Millions official website, 5 tickets in the multi-state lottery game matched 5 numbers, winning $1 million each. (The $1 million prize is an increase from $250,000.) The tickets were purchased in Florida, Illinois, New York (2) and Texas.
Tuesday’s drawing also produced the game’s first-ever $5 million winner, on the heels of a $3 million winner on Friday – larger amounts than any secondary prize in Powerball.
No one matched all the numbers drawn Tuesday night — 27, 44, 59, 74 and 75, with a Mega Ball of 3 — but five tickets matched the first five.
A Texas ticket won $5 million for also having the $1 Megaplier prize-multiplier option. Since the Megaplier came up 5, the usual $1 million prize was multiplied by 5. New York had two $1 million winners, and Florida and Illinois had one apiece.
Friday night, a North Carolina ticket won $3 million.
In Michigan, there were no major Mega Millions winners on Nov. 26, according to Michigan Lottery officials:
