Only 10 previous Mega Millions jackpots have been worth more than $300 million, and Friday’s drawing will offer the 11th largest jackpot in the game’s history.
A victor is declared if all numbers chosen match the winning combination.
No one has won the grand prize since March 8. One of those ticketbuyers – in Texas ‐ spent an extra $1 to exercise the Megaplier option pushing his or her winnings to $5 million. Tickets sold in Middle Township, Newark, Pitman and Phillipsburg are worth ,000 apiece.
There were no jackpot winners in the June 14, drawing rolling the then-$293 million grand prize over into Friday’s game, for a jackpot estimated to be worth at least $310 million, the largest since the November 4, 2014 game topped out at $321 million.
Nearly $300 million in jackpot prize awaits the lucky Mega Million winner/s for Tuesday’s draw after no one got the lucky combination for the previous drawing schedule.
