$1.35 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot: Odds, Cutoff Time When Draw Happens

After 25 consecutive draws without a winner, the Mega Millions jackpot has become the fourth largest lottery prize in US history.

WASHINGTON. On Friday night, Mega Millions players will have another chance to end months of losing and finally win the jackpot, which has grown to $1.35 billion.

Many people have won smaller lottery prizes, but no one has matched all six numbers or won the top prize since October 14th. These 25 draws in a row without a winner allowed the top prize to roll over and increase over the course of three days. months.

It is now the fourth largest lottery prize in US history. If there is no winner on Friday night, the jackpot will come close to the record $2.04 billion Powerball prize won last November in California.

The long time without a Mega Millions jackpot winner is due to the game’s steep odds of 1:302.6 million.

The $1.35 billion prize is for the winner who chooses an annuity with annual payments over 29 years. Winners almost always choose the cash option, which is valued at $707.9 million for the Friday night draw.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states plus Washington DC and the US Virgin Islands.

What time is the Mega Millions draw?

The draw will take place on Friday at 11:00 PM EST (10:00 PM CT, 9:00 PM Mountain Time, 8:00 PM PST).

What days are the Mega Millions draws?

Mega Millions draws currently take place every Tuesday and Friday night.

How late can you buy Mega Millions tickets?

End times for purchasing Mega Millions tickets vary by state. This usually happens within one or two hours of the scheduled draw. However, you should contact your local lottery.

Can I buy Mega Millions tickets online?

Whether you can buy a Mega Millions ticket online or not depends on your location.

Currently, lotteries in only nine states and the District of Columbia offer ways to purchase tickets online or through the lottery mobile app. These states include: Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

If you don’t live in one of these states, you might be out of luck.

Another option that has emerged in recent years is courier services such as Lotto.com and Jackpocket, which allow players to order lottery tickets through a mobile app or website. These companies go out and buy a ticket on behalf of a player from a licensed retailer in their state, then upload their image to the app and store the physical ticket securely.

But again, location is key because these courier services are not available everywhere.

Jackpocket, which operates in 13 states and Washington, D.C., has seen a big surge in orders as Powerball climbed into record territory last year.

Jackpocket is currently available in Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington DC and West Virginia.

Lotto.com, which also operates in Texas, Colorado, New Jersey and New York, reported that the number of Powerball tickets sold in November increased by 1181% compared to October, as the jackpot topped $1 billion.
