Mega Millions Jackpot Soars Beyond $1 Billion
Monday July 31st 2023Mega Millions could once again be dubbed ‘Mega Billions’ after the jackpot for the multi-state lottery moved into ten figures. The grand prize is now worth an estimated $1.05 billion ahead of the next drawing on Tuesday night.
A jackpot of $940 million was up for grabs on Friday, but once again it proved to be just out of reach.
Five players came close as they matched all five main numbers but missed out on the Mega Ball, making themselves millionaires in the process. One of those five - a ticket holder from Pennsylvania - boosted their payout to $5 million after adding the Megaplier. See all the prize payouts for July 28th.
Top Five Jackpots
Mega Millions is the only lottery to have already given away four prizes in excess of $1 billion, and the current jackpot could now climb very quickly towards the game’s all-time record.
The record has stood since October 2018, when a player from South Carolina landed an extraordinary $1.537 billion. They waited several months to come forward, then decided to stay anonymous.
Players from Maine, Illinois and Michigan have since felt that same euphoria of winning a $1 billion jackpot, and another big pay day now beckons for someone. There’s no limit to how high the jackpot could go, though,so it could keep rising for another few draws.
The jackpot was last won on April 18, and over the last three and a half months there have been more than 26.4 million winning tickets across all the other prize levels.
