The South Carolina Education Lottery continues to captivate players with its exciting games and substantial prizes.<\/span> On April 29, 2025, two of its most popular games, Mega Millions and Pick 3, held their respective drawings, offering participants the chance to win life-changing sums.<\/span> This article provides an in-depth look at the results, prize structures, and other pertinent details of these games.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n The Mega Millions drawing on April 29, 2025, yielded the following winning numbers:<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n White Balls<\/strong>: 16, 33, 40, 51, 57<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mega Ball<\/strong>: 10<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Megaplier<\/strong>: 3x\u200b<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n These numbers were drawn during the scheduled Tuesday evening drawing, which took place at 11:00 PM Eastern Time.<\/span> The Mega Millions game requires players to select five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25.<\/span> Matching all six numbers secures the jackpot, while various other combinations offer secondary prizes.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n The jackpot for this drawing stood at an impressive $70 million, with a cash option of $31.8 million.<\/span> As no ticket matched all six numbers, the jackpot rolled over to the next drawing, increasing the potential winnings for future participants.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n The Megaplier feature, which was 3x for this drawing, multiplies non-jackpot prizes by the drawn multiplier number.<\/span> This means that players who opted for the Megaplier and won secondary prizes saw their winnings tripled.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n The Mega Millions game offers nine prize tiers, ranging from $2 to the jackpot amount.<\/span> The following is a general breakdown of the prize structure:<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n Match 5 + Mega Ball<\/strong>: Jackpot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Match 5<\/strong>: $1,000,000 (or $3,000,000 with Megaplier)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Match 4 + Mega
