The Mega Millions jackpot surged past $1 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night.
- Here are the winning Mega Millions numbers for July 28, 2023: 5, 10, 28, 52, 63, and gold Mega Ball 18.
The estimated jackpot has reached $1.05 billion ($527.9 million cash). The next drawing is set for Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023. The prize is estimated to be the fourth-largest Mega Millions jackpot ever.
The last jackpot was won in New York on April 18. Tuesday’s drawing will be the 30th without a jackpot winner.
There were 3,157,597 winning tickets across all tiers in Friday’s drawing. The Megaplier multiplies all non-jackpot prizes by a factor of 2x to 5x and Friday’s Megaplier was 5x.
Someone in Pennsylvania won $5 million when they matched five white balls for the game’s second-tier prize and had the Megaplier. Another ticket in Pennsylvania, and tickets in Arizona, California, and New York won $1 million when they matched all five white balls.
Across the country, 92 tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the third-tier prize. Fourteen of those tickets are worth $50,000 each, because they also included the optional Megaplier. The other 78 win the standard $10,000 each.
A ticket purchased in Westland on Friday, July 21, matched all white balls in that drawing to win the $1 million prize.
