The Mega Millions award 01/15/21 was the second largest in history, and eight people came close to winning it. However, they only hit the first five numbers and lost the massive Ballon d’Or for the $ 750 million prize.
Now, the National Grand Prix has risen to $ 850 million – the second largest in the game’s history. Here are the figures from Friday night’s drawing:
- First Five: 03-11-12-38-43
