MEGA MILLIONS DRAWING JACKPOT CLIMBS TO $868 MILLION
The bad news is no one won the Mega Millions drawing last night.
The good news is there is still a chance to win with an even larger jackpot!
No winning lottery ticket was sold for the latest Mega Millions drawing, meaning the jackpot climbs to $868 million.
Mega Millions officials say no tickets matched all 6 numbers to claim the estimated $667 million grand prize in Tuesday night’s drawing. The numbers were 3, 45, 49, 61, 69 and Mega Ball 9.
The next drawing will be Friday (October 19, 2018). The estimated jackpot for that drawing would be the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
The jackpot has been growing since July, when a group of California office workers won $543 million.
It costs $2 to play the game, but the odds of winning the jackpot aren’t good. The chance of matching all six numbers and taking home the grand prize is one in 302.5 million.
