Mega Millions jackpot soars to $1.35 billion -- 2nd largest in history -- after no winner claimed Tuesday's prize | CNN
The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $1.35 billion -- the second-largest in the lottery's history -- after no winner snagged the big prize in Tuesday night's drawing, officials said.
The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $1.35 billion – the second-largest in the lottery’s history – after no winner snagged the big prize in Tuesday night’s drawing, officials said.
That’s a boost from Tuesday’s jackpot of $1.1 billion, which saw no tickets match all six winning numbers of 7, 13, 14, 15, 18 and the Mega Ball 9.
While no ticket matched the jackpot drawing, 16 won the game’s second-tier prize taking home up to $3 million.
The drawing for the $1.35 billion prize, roughly $707.9 million in cash, is scheduled for Friday night. If won, it would be second only to a $1.537 billion Mega Millions jackpot won in South Carolina in 2018, the lottery said.
“While many consider Friday the 13th an unlucky day, it has been rewarding for Mega Millions players over the years, with six previous jackpots won on such a day. There’s a chance for another this Friday, and it’s a big one!” the lottery said in a news release early Wednesday.
