Texas Lottery Confirms Mega Millions $10,000 Wins Tuesday

Texas Lottery players have once again two-stepped with Lady Luck to the tune of some big money wins in the Mega Millions multi-state lottery drawing that was held on Tuesday night.

There were no tickets sold across the Mega Millions platform that matched the numbers needed to claim the game's $257 million top prize on Tuesday. But, the Lone Star State delivered a slew of winning tickets including two tickets that are valued at $10,000 each this morning.

Here's how the Mega Millions drawing unfolded on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.

Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing did create three new millionaires across the country. There were Match 5 Million winning tickets sold to lottery players in California, New York, and Mississippi. Here are the numbers from last night's game.

10   18   27   37   61   Mega Ball 05   Megaplier x3

You may verify those numbers and your tickets via the Official Mega Millions website or the Official Texas Lottery website. Both of those online platforms allow you to enter multiple ticket numbers and evaluate and calculate your winnings.

As we mentioned no tickets sold for Tuesday's drawing matched the numbers needed to claim the game's top prize so that jackpot will grow. Mega Million game officials estimate that on Friday night when the next drawing is held the jackpot prize will be an annuitized $284 million. The lump sum payout on that jackpot would be $127.6 million.
