While nobody hit the jackpot in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing, one player did win $1 million.
WASHINGTON — After a historic set of jackpot lottery wins earlier this year, the Mega Millions prize is on the rise again.
Tuesday's drawing offered a $322 million jackpot with a cash option of $170.1 million. Players must match all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball to win the grand prize.
The winning numbers for March 27 were 2-3-18-32-68 and the Mega Ball 24.
While nobody won the grand prize in Tuesday's drawing, one player in California did win $1 million by matching all the numbers except the Mega Ball.
Friday's jackpot now rises to $355 million, with a cash option of $187.6 million.
In January, the Mega Millions jackpot was won a total of four times, including a whopping $1.34 billion prize won in Maine. The month set a record for the lottery game, which had never seen four wins in a single month.
