Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot Reaches $640 Million

The Mega Millions lottery jackpot has surged to an estimated $640 million after no one claimed the latest enormous prize. The winning numbers for the drawing on Friday night were 10, 24, 48, 51, 66, and the gold Mega Ball was 15. The next drawing for the estimated $640 million jackpot will take place on Tuesday night. However, the massive windfall will only be awarded to a winner who chooses the annuity option, paid out over 29 years. If the winner opts for the cash payout, which is the more common choice, they will receive an estimated $328 million.

This staggering jackpot is now the seventh largest in the history of the Mega Millions game, according to a statement from Mega Millions. In the recent drawing, four tickets matched all five white balls, securing the second prize level. One ticket sold in South Carolina, which included an optional multiplier, is valued at $2 million. Two tickets in California and one in North Carolina also won second-tier prizes. Despite the odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot being an astonishing 1 in 302.6 million, players continue to purchase tickets as the grand prize keeps growing.

The last time a player hit the top prize in the Mega Millions game was on April 18th. Mega Millions is available in 45 states across the United States, as well as in Washington DC and the US Virgin Islands. The lottery game attracts players from all corners of the country, as they hope to win life-changing sums of money.

With the prize climbing to $640 million, the excitement surrounding the Mega Millions lottery has reached a fever pitch.
