Another rollover in the Mega Millions jackpot has raised the prize to a single winner on Friday night to at least one billion, 25-million dollars.
While no one matched all the numbers correctly, an Illinois player who matched five numbers won $ 1 million. That ticket was sold at a food shop in Huntley in suburban Chicago.
Only three jackpots over $1 billion have ever been won in the U.S.
- A $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot was won by three tickets bought in California, Florida, and Tennessee in 2016
- A $1.537 billion Mega Millions jackpot was won by a ticket bought in South Carolina in 2018
- A $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot was won by a ticket in Michigan in 2021.
The next Mega Millions drawing is this Friday night at 10 p.m.
Mega Millions tickets are $2 each, and players can add the Megaplier for an additional $1 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes.
