Here are the winning numbers in the $475M Mega Millions drawing

The jackpot is the ninth largest in the game’s history

The Mega Millions jackpot hit $475 million ahead of Tuesday night’s drawing, one of the top 10 largest prizes in the game’s history.

The cash option for the jackpot is $319.4 million before taxes are factored in, which can take a sizable chunk of the winnings.

However, the pot was still the ninth largest on record.

Tuesday's winning numbers: 3, 5, 56, 61, 66 and the Mega number 4.

Two Mega Millions jackpots have been won so far in 2021.

The largest Mega Millions jackpot won on a single ticket was $1.537 billion in 2018. The game has awarded 21 jackpots worth more than $300 million.
