Mega Millions’ jackpot edged closer to the billion-dollar mark after its latest drawing brought no grand-prize winner.
The lottery said Tuesday night’s drawing didn’t have any players with tickets matching all of the numbers, pushing the jackpot to an annuitized $825 million. As a one-time cash payout, it amounts to $382.2 million.
The jackpot is poised to become Mega Millions’ fourth grand-prize win of 2024 if someone lands it before the end of the year, according to the lottery.
