Mega Millions jackpot is getting close to $1 billionThe jackpot was estimated to be $977 billion ahead of Friday's drawing. If the estimate stays the same and no one wins Friday, it will cross the billion-dollar mark for next week's drawings. This is just the sixth time in the lottery game's nearly 22-year history that the jackpot has gone this high.
If somebody does match all the numbers correctly, they'll have the option of taking a lump sum of $461 million for Friday's jackpot. Mega Millions hasn't seen a grand prize winner since December 8, 2023, when two tickets shared a $394 million jackpot.
