Lottery players could have a chance of winning the nation’s 10^th largest lottery prize, as the Mega Millions estimated jackpot climbs to $502 million. The Friday night (March 30, 2018) drawing will offer players a chance to spend $2 and dream of beating the staggering odds of 302.5 million to one and winning the big prize. Jackpot winners must match all six numbers in a drawing. The $502 million prize is the annuity option, in which a sole winner is paid over 29 years. A winner opting for the cash prize would take home $301 million, minus state and federal taxes. No one has won the Mega Millions jackpot since January.
