- Mega Millions Hits 433 Million! This is The Lottery Rundown for Wednesday October 21st Mega Millions drew Tuesday night with 13, 28, 33, 35 and 48, plus Mega Ball 3. Nobody matched them all, sending the jackpot higher. The number 28 resurfaced after 58 drawings away; with 35 appearances over the past six years, it is tied among the five least-drawn white balls. Fifty-eight drawings is not a break; it is a full rebranding campaign. Friday’s estimated jackpot is 433 million dollars, with a cash value of 178 million 600 thousand dollars. The jackpot has rolled through 24 drawings and 84 days without a winner, a little longer than usual but still well within familiar territory. Would you call 84 days patient, stubborn, or a refusal to check voicemail? Moving to Powerball, the last draw was Monday, October 19, with 8, 31, 32, 42 and 48, plus Powerball 23 and a four-times multiplier. No jackpot ticket emerged, but one lucky Michigan ticket holder matched all five white balls for a 1 million dollar score. Tonight’s estimated jackpot is 635 million dollars, with a cash value of 267 million 500 thousand dollars. That could bankroll a superhero whose only power is arriving with the correct charging cable. The run stands at 29 drawings and 68 days, longer than average but not unusually stretched. Wednesdays have delivered 21 of the past 46 jackpot wins, a stronger showing than their share of the schedule.
