What better way to start the new year than with a 10-figure winning lottery ticket?
What better way to start the new year than with a 10-figure winning lottery ticket? Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot is $1.15 billion, or $516.1 million in cash. The prize surged since its last drawing on Christmas Eve, when no winner took home the estimated $1 billion jackpot. If won Friday, the prize would be the fifth largest jackpot in the game’s history. “We know that many people will likely receive tickets to Friday’s drawing as holiday gifts, and what a gift that would turn out to be if you ended up with a ticket worth a $1.15 billion jackpot,” said Joshua Johnston, lead director for the Mega Millions Consortium in a press release. While Friday poses an opportunity for another 2024 Mega Millions winner, no one has won the jackpot in over 100 days. According to the company, this year has had one of the fewest jackpot wins in any single year since the game started in 2002. Only three people have won this year.
