The Mega Millions drawing for Tuesday, April 21 brought fresh anticipation as the jackpot climbed to an estimated $140 million, with a $62.8 million cash option. Players across the United States tuned in for the late-night draw as the winning numbers were officially announced.
Winning Numbers: 01, 36, 43, 56, 58
Mega Ball: 07
Latest Draw Ends Jackpot Wait
The April 21 drawing delivered a fresh set of numbers after the previous round on April 17 ended without a jackpot winner. That earlier draw saw numbers 38, 43, 44, 49, 62 with Mega Ball 8, pushing the jackpot up to its current level.
With the newly released results, attention now turns to whether any ticket matched all six numbers to claim the $140 million prize, or if the jackpot will continue to roll over into the next draw.
Prize Structure and Winning Details
Mega Millions offers multiple prize tiers beyond the jackpot. Matching only the Mega Ball guarantees a $2 prize, while combining one regular number with the Mega Ball increases winnings to $4.
Players must include the Mega Ball in lower-tier winning combinations, as matching two regular numbers alone does not result in a payout.
Full prize breakdowns and official confirmation of winners can be checked on the Mega Millions official website.
Ticket Price and Draw Schedule
A standard Mega Millions ticket costs $5, including automatic multipliers for non-jackpot prizes. An optional Megaplier can be added for $1 to boost potential winnings.
Drawings take place twice weekly, every Tuesday and Friday at approximately 11 p.m. ET, continuing to attract millions of players across the country.
Momentum Builds Around Growing Jackpots
Recent months have seen several notable wins, including jackpots exceeding $500 million and even nearing the billion-dollar mark. These massive payouts continue to fuel interest as jackpots build through rollovers.
As players check their tickets from the April 21 draw, the outcome will determine whether the jackpot resets or climbs even higher in the next round.
