The winning numbers on Friday (03/27/20) for the $107 million jackpot were: 03-25-28-50-60 with a Mega Ball of 01. The Megaplier was 4x.
There was no grand prize winner from Friday's drawing, but there was one ticket sold in Connecticut that matched the first five white balls for the game's second prize of $1 million. Had the megaplier been purchased for an extra $1, then the second prize would have been worth $4 million.
There were six tickets sold nationwide on Friday that matched four of the five white balls and the Mega Ball for the $10,000 third prize. Two of those purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1, which made their third-prize winnings worth $40,000 each.

Prior to that, a $227 million ticket was sold on 09/24/19 in the city of Cedar Park, Texas—a suburb north of Austin. The winner from nearby Leander came forward to claim that prize, but they wished to remain anonymous.
