More than $1 billion is on the line for the Mega Millions lottery jackpot.
No one claimed Tuesday night’s winning numbers, setting the stage for Friday’s drawing of an estimated grand total of $1.02 billion.The last time someone matched the game’s six selected winning numbers was April 15, meaning there have been 29 consecutive drawings without a winner.
While the prize’s amount has grown, the chances of winning remain the same: 1 in 302.5 million, according to a report.Excitement surrounding the rising prize total prompted Raising Cane's CEO Todd Graves to buy 50,000 Mega Millions tickets in the hopes of sharing the jackpot money with his employees.
