No one won the"wrong" jackpot Tuesday night and it doesn't appear anyone has yet come forward to claim it. The correct winning numbers for the May 10 drawing are 15-19-20-61-70 and Mega Ball 9.

"The New York Lottery is actively working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible," the lotto said in a statement."The Lottery has temporarily suspended prize payments for all Mega Millions tickets and all Mega Millions players should hold on to their tickets for the May 10, 2022 drawing until the issue is resolved."
