dailyloe.com – The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday, April 10, 2026, remains unclaimed and has grown. The estimated top prize reached $110 million with a cash option of $49.2 million. No player matched all six numbers drawn that evening. The next drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14.
The winning numbers for the April 10 drawing were 3, 42, 49, 18, and 36. The Mega Ball drawn was number 6. These numbers did not produce a jackpot winner. The prize pool will now increase for the following draw.
Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. In Michigan, ticket sales close at 10:45 p.m. on draw nights. Players can buy tickets in stores or online until that time. Each Mega Millions play costs $5.
To play, participants pick five numbers from 1 to 70. They also select one Mega Ball number from 1 to 24. Alternatively, players can use the Easy Pick or Quick Pick option. This lets the terminal randomly choose numbers.
The game has a built-in multiplier for non-jackpot prizes. This feature automatically increases prizes by two, three, four, five, or ten times. It replaced the retired Megaplier option. The multiplier is randomly assigned at purchase.
Prize amounts vary based on matches and the multiplier. Matching all five white balls and the Mega Ball wins the jackpot. Matching just the five white balls awards a set prize. That prize ranges from $2 million to $10 million based on the multiplier.
Matching four white balls and the Mega Ball pays between $20,000 and $100,000. Matching four white balls alone wins from $1,000 to $5,000. Matching three white balls and the Mega Ball yields $400 to $2,000.
Matching three white balls pays $20 to $100. Matching two white balls and the Mega Ball awards $20 to $100. Matching one white ball and the Mega Ball gives $14 to $70. Matching only the Mega Ball results in a $10 to $50 prize.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 290,472,336. This reflects the chance of matching five white balls and the Mega Ball. The overall odds of winning any prize are better.
Winning numbers are available on the Mega Millions website. They are also posted on the Michigan Lottery website. The drawings can be watched on YouTube. Results are published shortly after each draw.
A jackpot winner chooses between an annuity or a cash payment. The annuity provides one immediate payment followed by annual installments. The cash option is a lump sum. The estimated cash value for this jackpot is $49.2 million.[]
