The Mega Millions jackpot grew to a whopping $1.05 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in Friday night’s draw. The last winning ticket was sold on April 18.
The next drawing for the grand prize, which is currently equal to the fourth-largest Mega Millions jackpot to date, is on Tuesday. A lump-sum payment would be an estimated $528 million.
Friday’s jackpot was $940 million, and had been growing steadily, finally passing the $1 billion mark after 29 straight draws without someone matching all six winning numbers.FOLLOW US ON GOOGLE NEWS
