The jackpot was $333 million, with a lump-sum value of $210 million, meaning each of the two winning tickets has a value of $105 million before taxes. Depending on local income tax law, each winner is likely to take home close to $70 million after taxes.
The Mega Millions jackpot will go back to its starting level of $12 million for Tuesday’s drawing. That means an Ohio winner Tuesday would be able to pocket “only” about $5 million after taxes and the lump-sum discount.
Mega Millions lists the odds of winning its jackpot at 1 in 175 million, and the odds of winning any prize (starting as low as $2) at 1 in 40.
