The winning numbers are 6, 23, 41, 59, 63 with a gold Mega Ball of 25. The Megaplier is 2x.
If won, the $740 million, which comes with a $371.6 million lump-sum cash option, would be the seventh-largest jackpot won in Mega Millions history.
However, in the history of Mega Millions, the jackpot has always reached at least $1 billion after surpassing $656 million, which was the world-record jackpot back in 2012.
