The jackpot is expected to be the largest in the history of Mega Millions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Mega Millions jackpot is expected to rise to $1.55 billion in the next drawing, the highest-ever pot for the lottery, topping its previous record of $1.537 Billion in October 2018.<\/p>\n

No jackpot-winning ticket was purchased with Friday night’s numbers, 11, 30, 45, 52, 56 and a gold Mega Ball 20, the lottery said.<\/p>\n

The cash option for Tuesday’s drawing is estimated to be $757.2 million.<\/p>\n

The lottery game<\/a>’s jackpot had grown ahead of Friday’s drawing to an estimated $1.35 billion. That figure would have been the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot ever and the fourth-largest in U.S. lotto history when also factoring in Powerball jackpots.<\/p>\n

A drawing of $1.55 billion would place the Mega Millions jackpot behind only two other U.S. lottery drawings, a $1.586 billion Powerball in January 2016 and a $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot in November 2022.<\/p>\n

The jackpot has continued to climb since it was last won on April 18. Friday’s drawing marked the 31st in this current run.<\/p>\n

“There’s always an air of excitement around the country when Mega Millions jackpots soar,” Georgia Lottery President and CEO Gretchen Corbin, lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium, said in a statement. “The growing jackpot is a source of entertainment and winnings for players while generating important dollars for the good causes supported by each lottery. We are grateful for our players, app<\/a>reciate our hardworking retailers, and remind everyone to play responsibly.”<\/p>\n

Players must match all five numbers plus the Mega Ball number to claim the jackpot. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.<\/p>\n

The previous four $1 billion Mega Million jackpots were won in 2018, 2021, 2022 and January 2023.<\/p>\n

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets are $2 for one play. <\/p>\n<\/article>\n
