Powerball and Mega Millions Jackpots Rise After Lackluster Drawings

(AsiaGameHub) –   The jackpots for both Powerball and Mega Millions have grown ahead of their upcoming drawings, following recent drawings that did not produce any grand prize winners. Although both lottery games have recently created new millionaires, neither the Tuesday Mega Millions drawing nor the Wednesday Powerball drawing resulted in a jackpot winner.

The Top Win from the Tuesday Mega Millions Drawing Was $30K

In the Tuesday Mega Millions drawing, players vied for a jackpot of $277 million, with a lump-sum cash option of $120.4 million. Despite the substantial prize, no ticket matched the six numbers needed to claim the top prize.

The winning numbers drawn on May 19 were 10, 26, 34, 56, and 64, along with the gold Mega Ball 6.

In addition to the unclaimed jackpot, no player won a Match 5 prize, which ranges from $2 million to $10 million, requiring players to match all five white balls.

However, several players did win third-tier prizes by matching four white balls plus the Mega Ball. Five players each won $20,000 with a 2x multiplier, and two players each won $30,000 with a 3x multiplier.

The Mega Millions jackpot has now climbed to $296 million, with a cash option of $128.6 million. The next drawing is scheduled for this Friday.

One Powerball Player Won $150K

Meanwhile, the Wednesday Powerball drawing offered a jackpot of $115 million, with a cash option of $50.4 million. The winning numbers for the May 20 drawing were 10, 28, 30, 46, 57, and the red Powerball 25. The Power Play multiplier for this drawing was 3x.

As previously noted, no one won the game’s top prize or a seven-figure Match 5 prize. Nevertheless, several participants successfully matched four white balls plus the Powerball, securing the next prize tier.

Six of these players each received $50,000. One player, who utilized the Power Play option, won $150,000 due to the 3x multiplier.

The Powerball jackpot has now reached $131 million, with a cash option of $57.5 million. The next drawing is scheduled for this Saturday, offering another opportunity for players to win the grand prize.
