Mega Millions: Mega Millions Jackpot Grows to $22 Million
There is no shortage of winners or excitement in Mega Millions. When the six numbers were drawn in the Friday, October 17, 2003 drawing, they turned 241,442 tickets into winners. However, none of those tickets matched all six numbers to win the estimated $16 million jackpot. So the jackpot grows to an estimated $22 million for the Tuesday, October 21, 2003 drawing.
Friday's winning Mega Millions numbers were 14-20-31-46-48 and the Mega Ball number was 18.
Two tickets nearly hit the jackpot. They matched the first five numbers and only missed the Mega Ball number. Those tickets, which were sold in Maryland and Ohio, each win Mega Millions' second highest prize of $175,000.
Mega Millions players won a total of $1,443,119 in Friday's drawing.
