Mega Millions

The lack of a jackpot winner in the Friday drawing sent the top prize soaring to an estimated $820 million. The potential jackpot is the fifth largest in the history of the game, Mega Millions said.

The winner, whose name is not yet known, overcame steep odds of 1 in 302.6 million, which led to three months of drawings without a claim on the jackpot.

What would you do with a $1 billion payday? If you're hearing that question more these days, it's because huge jackpots like the Mega Millions aren't as rare as they once were.

The Mega Millions' estimated jackpot has increased to a total of $1.35 billion — the second-largest jackpot in the game's history, officials say.

The Mega Millions prize has grown again to an estimated $1.35 billion after there was no winner of the lottery's latest giant jackpot. The prize for the next drawing is Friday night.

No one won the estimated $940 million jackpot Friday, pushing the lottery prize to the third-largest Mega Millions in U.S. history ahead of the next drawing Tuesday night.

The estimated jackpot total is the second-largest prize in Powerball's history and the fourth-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history, officials say.

The Illinois Lottery said the $1.337 million prize for the July 29 drawing was claimed by two people who wish to remain anonymous. They chose a lump sum payment of $780.5 million.

It's been nearly a month since the winning numbers for one of the largest jackpots in Mega Millions history were pulled. But no one has come forward to claim the $1.34 billion prize yet.
