Mega Millions Jackpot Hits $520M After No Winner in Latest Draw
No one matched all six numbers in the latest Mega Millions drawing, leaving the jackpot untouched at a whopping $520 million. The winning numbers were 4, 8, 27, 37, 63, and Mega Ball 14. The next Mega Millions drawing is set for Friday night.
The Mega Millions jackpot has been rolling since September 15, 2022, when a Missouri man won the second-largest prize in the game's history, $526.5 million. He chose the lump sum option, taking home $410.3 million after taxes. The winner can now choose between an annuity of $520 million, paid out over 30 years, or a lump sum of $240.1 million.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are astronomically low, at 1 in 290.4 million. Even with such long odds, many continue to play, dreaming of the life-changing prize. The next chance to claim the jackpot is Friday night's Mega Millions drawing.
The Mega Millions jackpot stands at $520 million, with the next drawing scheduled for Friday night. The winner, should they choose the lump sum, can expect to receive around $182.5 million after federal withholding. However, they may also face additional state taxes, reducing their final take-home amount.
