A record Mega Millions jackpot may be in play after no ticket matched all winning numbers in Friday night's drawing, the lottery said.
Saturday, August 5, 2023 1:47PMThe Mega Millions jackpot is expected to rise to $1.55 billion in the next drawing. That's the highest-ever pot for the lottery, officials said.The numbers drawn Friday night were: 11, 30, 45, 52, 56 and the gold ball 20.
Because no one matched all six numbers and won the estimated $1.35 billion jackpot, the top prize increased to $1.55 billion for the next drawing Tuesday night. That's the highest-ever pot for the lottery, topping its previous record of $1.537 Billion in October 2018. There now have been 31 straight drawings without a jackpot winner. The last time someone won the Mega Millions jackpot was April 18.The $1.55 billion prize would be for a sole winner who chooses the annuity option with payment stretched over 30 years. Most winners opt for a lump-sum payment, which would be an estimated $757.2 million on Tuesday.
A big slice of those winnings would go toward federal taxes, while many states also tax lottery payouts. The jackpot is so hard to win because of the 1 in 302.6 million odds of matching the numbers on five white balls and a separate mega ball. The odds are better to win smaller prizes, which start at $2.ABC contributed to this report.
