Mega Millions Jackpot Increases To $1.1 Billion
Soon, the United States will be home to a new billionaire.
No one matched all six numbers on Friday, meaning the jackpot for Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing will be worth a staggering $1.1 billion — the third largest in U.S. history, lottery officials say. Friday’s drawing was the 24th in a row without a winner.
The numbers were 3, 20, 46, 59 and 63, with a gold Mega Ball of 13.
If someone wins on Tuesday, he or she could take the full $1.1 billion paid out over 29 years, or the lump sum option of $568.7 million all at once.
But don’t make plans for the money just yet; the odds of winning are one in 302.6 million, lottery officials say.
