Mega Millions jackpot soars past $400M for Friday night

Friday night's Mega Millions jackpot has jumped above $400 million for only the 19th time in history. The last jackpot was won in January.

The Mega Millions jackpot has surpassed $400 million for the first time in almost three months.

It is also just the 19th time in the 21-year history of the game that it has reached this point.

The jackpot rolled over after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Tuesday night.

The numbers were 1, 37, 45, 62 and 64, plus the gold Mega Ball 4. The Megaplier was 3X.

The cash value is $221 million.

While nobody won the jackpot or even the second-place prize, 16 winning tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the game’s third-tier prize.
