Did anyone win Mega Millions?

- Sara Chernikoff and Ahjané Forbes

The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday’s drawing has climbed to an estimated $363 million after no one won the jackpot on Friday.

If a lucky player had won the then $331 million jackpot on Friday, they could’ve walked away with $152.2 million – the cash option according to the lottery.

In March, a player in New Jersey won the first Mega Millions jackpot of the year: a whopping $1.13 billion.

Winning numbers for 5/10/24

The winning numbers for Friday, May 10 were 13 - 22 - 26 - 32 - 65 and Megaball was 18. The Megaplier was 4X.

Mega Millions players, get those tickets ready because the jackpot is climbing again. There were no jackpot winners in Friday’s drawing, but Tuesday’s drawing has jumped to an estimated $363 million. In addition, there were no Match 5 or Match 5 + Megaplier winners.

How to play the Mega Millions

In order to buy a ticket, you’ll have to visit your local convenienc­e store, gas station or grocery store − and in a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online.

To play, you will need to pick six numbers. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The gold Mega Ball is one number between 1 and 25.

If you believe the odds are against you, ask for a “Quick Pick” or an “Easy Pick,” the computer will randomly generate the numbers for you.

Players can add the “Megaplier” for $1, which can increase non-grand prize winnings by two, three, four or five times. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday and Friday.

There are 15 Megaplier balls in all:

● 2X, five balls

● 3X, six balls

● 4X, three balls

● 5X, one ball
