Mega Millions and Texas Lottery confirm a million-dollar win on Tuesday

From their spacious offices in Austin, Texas, our sources at the Texas Lottery have happily confirmed that another Texas Lottery player is now a millionaire. On Monday night, the Powerball game offered a Texas player in Humble the chance to win $1 million. Tuesday’s multi-state lottery game Mega Millions offered a second Texan the opportunity to become a millionaire.

My estimate is that there are about 30 million Texans, and if we continue to produce a new millionaire every day, I calculate that it would only take six million more Mega Millions or Powerball drawings for every Texan to become a millionaire, so that would only happen in about 23,000 years . I’m not a doctor, but I wouldn’t advise you to hold your breath and wait for it.

Still, two millionaires on two days in a row from two different multi-state lottery games is a good sign for those of us who enjoy the thrill of lottery games. The Texas Lottery confirmed that last night’s Match 5 Million winner in the Tuesday, October 22, 2024 Mega Millions drawing was one of 42,143 tickets deemed the winner of last night’s game.

Let’s get you the details from last night. Here you will first find out how the drawing developed.

The estimated annuized Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday was reported at $205 million, with the total estimated at $96.1 million. Unfortunately, no tickets were sold for Tuesday’s game that matched the numbers needed to win the jackpot.

But as mentioned, a Texas ticket brought in Match 5 million money. A ticket was also sold in Florida last night, fetching $3 million. The buyer of the Florida ticket chose the Megaplier feature, which was “times 3” last night, hence the discrepancy between $3 million and $1 million.

Aside from the big million-dollar win, there were no other “big” winners in last night’s game. The Texas Lottery shows that 23 tickets yielded a $500 prize, while another nine tickets had the same number scenario (4 out of 5 white balls) but received a $1,500 prize using the Megaplier.

Here are Tuesday’s Mega Millions numbers:

By the way, the Texas Lottery confirmed that the $1 million winning ticket was sold in Austin. The ticket was purchased at CMART #2 at 7811 1st Street Suite 100.
