Dec 24 Wednesday, Texas: Mega Millions Jackpot has increased to around $1.15 billion following the Christmas Eve draw when no ticket matched all the six numbers. The drawn numbers were 11, 14, 38, 45, 46, and Mega Ball 3. This marks the seventh time that Mega Millions has broken into the billion-dollar range in history. This is one of the biggest prizes offered in the lottery.
The jackpot had been carried over since a winning ticket in Texas brought home $810 million on September 10. Since that time, 29 drawings without winning the jackpot prize have gone by and produced this immense prize.
The second draw is tonight on Friday. If there is a winner, the winner would be given the option of choosing either the annuitized prize of $1.15 billion or the cash lump sum option, estimated to be $516.1 million. Mega Millions tickets are sold in 45 states in the U.S., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington, D.C. A play costs $2, and draws are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. Eastern Time.
It’s very tempting to think of the possibility of winning such a huge jackpot, but in reality, winning all six numbers will only occur 1 in 302.6 million. Participants should participate responsibly and realize how low the chances of getting the jackpot are.
For those who wish to enter, tickets can be purchased at authorized retailers up to the cut-off time, which varies by jurisdiction. In some states, online tickets are also available for purchase. It would be wise to contact local lottery officials to determine details about ticket sales and regulations.
As the excitement to participate in the drawing continues, it is worth noting that larger jackpots have been associated with more participants. More participants can be the reason for even greater amounts in prizes. Nonetheless, players should be watchful of lottery scams and should purchase tickets only from recognized sources.
The Mega Millions Jackpot has grown to a staggering $1.15 billion, and there will be a life-changing fortune for the lucky winner. The next drawing will be on Friday night, and people in the participating regions are eagerly waiting to hear the results. Keep reading Questiqa World for more updates.
