Residents of 44 states and the District of Columbia had a chance to win $30 million in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing.
The five white balls drawn were 2-17-31-39-47 with a Megaball of 9.
If none of the $1 tickets had all six numbers, the next biweekly drawing on Friday would be worth $35 million.
Tuesday’s drawing would be worth almost $19 million if taken in a cash lump sum, with almost 40 percent going for federal taxes, with the possibility of state taxes as well.
