Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs to $253 Million
The Mega Millions lottery continues to attract attention as the jackpot swells to an estimated $253 million for the upcoming Tuesday drawing. This follows the recent $344 million win on March 25. Players are encouraged to check their tickets after Tuesday’s drawing, where the winning numbers were 07-12-30-40-69, with a Mega Ball of 17.
For those looking to join in on the excitement, the cash option currently stands at approximately $113.8 million. As always, if no one matches all six numbers, the jackpot will increase for the next drawing.
Participants must choose six numbers from two separate pools: five numbers between 1-70 and one Mega Ball between 1-25. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350, making it a challenging feat.
Winners have the option to receive the jackpot in 30 annual payments, increasing by 5% each year, or as a lump-sum payment. Mega Millions tickets are available for purchase at $5 each and are offered in 45 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings occur every Tuesday and Friday, creating ongoing opportunities for hopeful players. Don’t miss your chance to win!
