June 2024 · 4 minute read

The Mega Millions jackpot for 01/17/23 is $20 million, and here are the winning numbers from Tuesday night's drawing.

Tuesday night's 01/17/23 Mega Millions jackpot was worth $20 million, with a cash-value option worth $10.6 million. The total jackpot could increase depending on the number of tickets sold around the country prior to the drawing.

The winning numbers last Friday (01/13/23) for the $1.35 billion jackpot were: 30-43-45-46-61 with a Mega Ball of 14. The Megaplier was 2x.

There was a grand prize winner on Friday from a ticket purchased at Hometown Gas & Grill in Lebanon, Maine. It was the second-largest prize in Mega Millions history and the fourth-largest prize won from an American lottery game.

"Congratulations to the Maine State Lottery, which has just won its first-ever Mega Millions jackpot," said Pat McDonald, the Ohio Lottery Director and Lead Director for the Mega Millions Consortium. "It's the fourth billion-dollar jackpot in Mega Millions history. We thank all our retailers for their hard work during this spectacular run, and our customers for their enthusiasm and support. I hope the fun and excitement Mega Millions has generated inspires a winning attitude in our daily lives and towards everyone we meet. Here's to a good year!"

In addition, there were 14 second-prize winners who matched the first five white balls, and minus the gold Mega Ball, for the game's second prize of $1 million. Had they purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1, their second prizes would have been worth $2 million, but none of them purchased the Megaplier. Four of those second-prize tickets were sold in New York, two in California and the others were sold in Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas.

There were 164 tickets sold nationwide on Friday that matched four of the five white balls plus the Mega Ball for the $10,000 third prize. Twenty-seven of those purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1, which made their third-prize winnings worth $20,000 apiece.

The game now resets to the minimum of $20 million.
