Following an unsuccessful ticket selection on Friday, the Mega Millions jackpot has skyrocketed to an impressive estimated amount of $480 million, presenting players with a cash option of $240.7 million. The eagerly anticipated next drawing is scheduled for Tuesday.
During the Friday drawing, none of the tickets managed to match all six numbers, which consisted of the white balls 8, 10, 17, 55, and 66, along with the coveted gold Mega Ball 3.
With a significant sum at stake, this particular Mega Millions draw ranks as the 14th largest in the history of the game.
In the July 7 drawing, an impressive number of nearly 1.2 million tickets emerged as winners across various prize tiers, showcasing the immense popularity of this lottery.
Among the fortunate winners, one ticket sold in California claimed the game’s second-highest prize, successfully matching all five white balls. Additionally, 28 tickets from different parts of the country managed to match four white balls, accompanied by the Mega Ball, thereby securing the third-tier prize.
