1. Mega Millions drawing tonight
It’s time for another Mega Millions drawing! Tonight’s jackpot is an estimated $1 billion dollars, making it the largest jackpot in Mega Millions history and the second largest jackpot in lottery history.
There have been no jackpot winners in the past 24 drawings, so the prize has been growing larger and larger. The last time someone won the Mega Millions jackpot was on March 12th, when a single ticket holder from Illinois took home $522 million.
If you’re feeling lucky, you can purchase a ticket for tonight’s drawing at any lottery retailer. The drawing will take place at 11 pm ET, and the winning numbers will be announced shortly afterward.
Good luck, and remember: you can’t win if you don’t play!
