Tuesday night’s 01/24/23 Mega Millions jackpot is worth $31 million, with a cash-value option worth $16.3 million. The total jackpot could increase depending on the number of tickets sold around the country prior to the drawing.

The winning numbers last Friday (01/20/23) for the $20 million jackpot were: 20-29-31-64-66 with a Mega Ball of 17. The Megaplier was 4x.

There was no grand prize winner on Friday but there was winning ticket purchased in Tennessee that matched the first five white balls, and minus the gold Mega Ball, for the game’s second prize. Since they purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1, their second prizes are worth $4 million instead of $1 million.

There were 17 tickets sold nationwide on Friday that matched four of the five white balls plus the Mega Ball for the $10,000 third prize. Three of those purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1, which made their third-prize winnings worth $40,000 apiece.
