Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow


The Mega Millions jackpot is continuing to climb.
With no jackpot winner in Tuesday’s drawing, the jackpot for Friday’s drawing is an estimated $400 million.
This jackpot has been growing since Oct. 1 and has now rolled 20 times without a winner.
If one ticket matches all six numbers for the $400 million mega-jackpot, the winner will have the choice of receiving the full jackpot in 30 annual payments, or a cash option of approximately $216.4 million before taxes.
The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately one in 259 million.
This jackpot is the second-largest in Mega Millions history.

The next drawing will take place at 11 Friday night.
