The excitement and anticipation are at an all-time high as the Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday night’s drawing reached a jaw-dropping $893 million, breaking all previous records. The winning numbers for this historic drawing were announced as 24, 46, 49, 62, 66, with the Mega Ball being 7.
With odds of 1 in 302.6 million, Mega Millions players are hoping to beat the unlikely chances and walk away with this life-changing jackpot. This is only the sixth time in the game’s history that the jackpot has climbed to such astronomical heights, with five of the previous six jackpots exceeding $1 billion.
Previous winning tickets have been sold in various states including South Carolina, Michigan, Illinois, Maine, and Florida. The excitement is not only for the jackpot winner, as one lucky ticket in New York matched all five white balls, securing a $1 million prize in the last Friday night drawing.
The anticipation has been building up as the jackpot has rolled over an astonishing 28 times since December 8th, when two winning tickets were drawn in California. Mega Millions drawings occur every Tuesday and Friday night, giving players two chances a week to win big.
Fans of the game are eagerly awaiting the next drawing, hoping to be the lucky individual who takes home this unprecedented jackpot. Stay tuned to see if this record-breaking jackpot will find its way to a new lucky winner on the next drawing night.
