With nine different ways to win, a total of 436,784 tickets won prizes in the April 10 drawing. That includes six tickets that each won $250,000. Since no ticket matched all six numbers to take home the jackpot, that jackpot grows to an estimated $17 million for the Friday, April 13, 2007 drawing.

The winning numbers in Tuesday's drawing were: 7-15-16-19-28 and the Mega Ball number was 10. Here is a complete breakdown of the winning tickets:
