If won, this would be the fifth largest prize in the lottery's history.
Out of 70 possible balls, 14 has been drawn the most, appearing 55 times in the past. But number 49 has come up the least, appearing 4.67 percent of the time and in just 0.93 percent of draws.
On Tuesday, the winning white balls would have been three, five, six, 44 and 61—all of which have occurred 34 times or more in the past. "The drawing machines and ball sets for each game are randomly selected and certified by outside auditors, to ensure that balls and equipment allow each number an equal chance of being drawn," he added."Each lottery drawing machine and ball set used goes through a series of pre-drawing tests to ensure the absolute randomness of the results."
One, sold in Texas, was worth $4 million because it had been bought with an optional Megaplier, which gave the ticket four times its value. The other was sold in Maryland and is worth a million dollars.
