There were several winners in the last Mega Millions drawing, including a $5 million winner in Wyoming. Did you purchase a ticket for tonight’s Mega Millions drawing? Many people choose to play both Mega Millions and Powerball several times per week. Some play only the lottery games with large jackpots while others also play scratch off tickets and other lottery games.

Mega Millions games are played every Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m. ET, while Powerball is played every Wednesday and Saturday at 11:00 p.m. ET. Due to the frequency both games are played, many choose to play both drawings on a regular basis.

Mega Millions is easy to play and is affordable as tickets cost $1 per play. The megaplier option is an additional $1 and the game is played in 44 states, Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Those who are new to Mega Millions can find information about their local lottery from the official site. This is an excellent way to stay up-to-date with the game and keep track of the rules and regulations you must follow.

There are slight variations between some states regarding Mega Millions and it’s important to understand these in case you are one of the lucky jackpot winners. For example, some jackpot winners live in states where they must come forward and have their information made public, while others are allowed to remain anonymous. Some states may not offer the megaplier option while others will. Even the time your local retailer stops selling lottery tickets may differ from another state. In order to get the most out of your Mega Millions game, begin by visiting your local state lottery and reading through their rules of play.

The last Mega Millions jackpot was won on March 8, 2016, and on Thursday, March 24, Washington resident Michael Burkett came forward with his family to accept his prize. The jackpot at the time of the drawing was $157 million, but Burkett chose to receive his payout in a lump sum and received $102.8 million before taxes. The Mega Millions website issued a press release regarding the win and Burkett’s claim. You may read it in its entirety below.

“On Thursday, March 24, Washington resident Michael Burkett stepped forward as the winner of the $157 million Mega Millions jackpot. The jackpot had remained unclaimed since the drawing on Tuesday, March 8. Burkett presented the ticket at Washington’s Lottery headquarters in Olympia, together with his family.

“The winner purchased one $5 Mega Millions ticket at a Seattle-area 7-Eleven (9200 35th Ave, SW Seattle WA 98126) using Quick Pick. He chose the one-time cash payment option before taxes of $102.8 million.

“After the reality of winning settled in, the winner’s first purchase was an Alienware PC from Dell. The man, who is a fan of electric vehicles, also shared that he has his eye on a new red Tesla.

“In addition to the jackpot, Washington also had 36,231 smaller prize winners from the March 8 Mega Millions drawing. These prizes ranged from $1 – $5,000.
