Mega Millions Jackpot Raised to $1 Billion
UNDATED -- The Mega Millions jackpot has grown to $1 billion for Friday's drawing.
It's only the third time in history that a lotto jackpot has hit that milestone.
The last time the Mega Millions jackpot was won was in September to a ticket holder in Wisconsin. There were five Mega Millions jackpot winners in 2020.
The only two jackpots that have been higher than this current one were $1.5 billion and nearly $1.6 billion.
If there is a winner tonight and the ticket holder takes the cash option that would be about $740 million.
