The Mega Millions lottery, one of the most coveted by players, reached the incredible figure of 977 million dollars in its last draw, after the jackpot winner was not known during Tuesday’s event.
Close to a billion dollars, players will have a new opportunity to completely change their lives, and they will have to pay attention to next Friday’s drawing.
The winning numbers drawn on Tuesday were 24, 46, 49, 62, 66 and the golden Mega Ball was 7. The estimated jackpot was 893 million with a cash prize of 421.4 million.

For the next one, if there is one lucky person, the cash prize will be 461 million dollars, a figure that could easily shock anyone.
In this last opportunity, four people won one million each in the states of California, Texas, Virginia and Florida.
On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that it is only the sixth time in the almost 22-year history of the Mega Millions that the jackpot reaches an impressive amount of money.
In fact, only five awards in all of history (all exceeding one billion dollars) are larger than this time.

In that sense, it is also worth noting that Mega Millions is the only lottery game that has awarded five jackpot prizes exceeding one billion dollars, none of them in the same state.
South Carolina was first in 2018, followed by Michigan in 2021, Illinois in 2022, Maine in early 2023 and Florida, the latter in August of last year.
