The Mega Millions winning numbers and winners for the February 19 drawing are in. There were no jackpot winners, causing the Mega Millions jackpot to roll to $114 million. The next drawing takes place on February 23, 2016, at 11 p.m. ET. You can watch the last drawing video as it occurred live in the video player below. The Mega Millions’ winning numbers for February 19 are 2, 27, 41, 50, 75, and the Mega Ball is 4. The megaplier is 4x.

There were no jackpot winners for the last Mega Millions drawing, nor were there any match five winners. Together, there were 1.2 million people who played Mega Millions that became winners. According to a statement by the official Mega Millions site, those players won a total of approximately $2.9 million. The Mega Millions jackpot continues to climb, as does the Powerball jackpot. Mega Millions is the nation’s second most popular jackpot game.

Mega Millions jackpot drawings always reset to $15 million after a grand prize winner is declared. Because the jackpots are smaller than those with Powerball, Mega Millions is often considered the second most popular lottery game. Powerball jackpots reset to $40 million after a win. Mega Millions’ tickets are also cheaper than Powerball tickets’ as well. Mega Millions’ tickets cost $1 each and Powerball tickets are $2 each. When playing Mega Millions, you can add a megaplier option to your ticket. This can help increase the amount of non-jackpot wins. The odds of winning Mega Millions are slightly better than the odds of winning Powerball. Odds of winning the Mega Millions’ jackpot are 1 in 258,890,850. The odds of winning Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338.

There has been great interest in both Powerball and Mega Millions games since the January 13 Powerball jackpot bumped to $1.58 billion. There were three winners in that epic drawing, and multi-millionaires were made in Tennessee and Florida. The winning ticket sold in California has yet to be claimed. The winning ticket in Florida was sold to Maureen Smith and David Kaltschmidt. The Tennessee Powerball winners are John and Lisa Robinson.

Here are the Tennessee Powerball Winners on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Florida Powerball Winners: Maureen Smith and David Kaltschmidt.

Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday night at 11 p.m. ET. They take place at the Atlanta studios in Georgia and may be attended in person. Each live drawing is broadcast on local television networks, and we put the live drawing video up every Tuesday and Friday, along with the winning numbers. As there were no jackpot or match five winners in the last Mega Millions, drawings, there were multiple match 4 plus the Mega Ball winners. The prize for match 4 plus the Mega Ball is $5,000 and there were 19 winners. Two people used the Megaplier that was 4x and multiplied their winnings from $5,000 to $20,000 each. Match 4 winners win $500, and there were 352 Mega Millions match 4 winners. Thirty-five people used the Megaplier and increased their winnings from $500 to $2,000.

The next Mega Millions drawing is tomorrow night, so the time to get your tickets is now. Each state operates a little differently from the other when it comes to the lottery. Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery game governed by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). If you need information on retailer’s hours, how to purchase and play Mega Millions, or even if buying Mega Millions tickets online is an available option in your state, you can check with your state lottery for more information. You can find a list of all state lotteries where Mega Millions is played at the Mega Millions website.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Mega Millions jackpot drawing for an estimated $114 million. We’ll have the live video of the drawing as well as the Mega Millions winning numbers.
