No one won this weekend’s Mega Millions lottery drawing, meaning that the new drawing has risen. However, the Mega Millions website is reporting on quite the impressive win. Check the report below to find out the new totals and about the big win.
The new Mega Millions lottery totals have reach a whopping $58 million.
The official lottery website is also reporting on one lucky winner who brought home $60,000 recently:
“An Albuquerque man won 15 prizes totaling $60,000 in one Mega Millions drawing. Steven Traub claimed his prizes in person at New Mexico Lottery headquarters yesterday. ‘This has made my day,’ Traub said.
“Winner Played Ages as Lucky Numbers … Again and Again
“For the July 8 drawing, Traub purchased five plays on three tickets for a total of 15 plays.
On every play, Traub used the ages of his four youngest children and his wife – 14, 19, 25, 27 and 49 – as his white ball numbers. To complete the plays, Traub selected one from each of the game’s 15 yellow Mega Balls. The winning numbers on July 8 were 14, 25, 27, 48 and 49 and the yellow Mega Ball of 9. On 14 plays, Traub matched four white ball numbers to win 14 prizes of $500 each, totaling $7,000. On one play, he matched four white ball numbers and the yellow Mega Ball to win $5,000. Traub’s winnings came to $12,000, but his good fortune didn’t end there.”
However, Traub’s luck didn’t end there thanks the the Megaplier:
“$12,000 Jumps to $60,000
“Traub added the game’s Megaplier feature to each play. The $1-per play feature multiples non-jackpot prizes between two and five times, depending on the multiplier drawn. On July 8, the number 5 was drawn as the multiplier. Traub’s winnings went from $12,000 to $60,000.’
