Even though there was no jackpot winner in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing, a lot of players still walked away winners. With
nine different ways to win, a total of 436,784 tickets won prizes in the April 10 drawing. That includes six tickets that
each won $250,000. Since no ticket matched all six numbers to take home the jackpot, that jackpot grows to an estimated $17
million for the Friday, April 13, 2007 drawing.
The winning numbers in Tuesday's drawing were: 7-15-16-19-28 and the Mega Ball number was 10. Here is a complete breakdown
of the winning tickets:
