Introduction
In the ongoing saga of jackpots, the Mega Millions prize has skyrocketed to a whopping $800 million. No ticket holder managed to snag the prize in the Friday night draw, but players still have a chance to win this monumental prize. With five tickets already claiming the top prize and several more just behind, this jackpot promises to make some lucky player very, very rich!
The Mega Millions Journey: An Update
The most recent Mega Millions draw on Friday evening failed to yield a winning ticket for the jackpot. This means the pot will continue to grow until Tuesday night’s draw. At this point, no tickets have matched the winning numbers: 6, 23, 41, 59, and 63, along with a Mega Ball of 25.
Rising Star: Cash Option Increases to $401.8 Million
Should someone or someone fortunate claim the $800 million jackpot on Tuesday night, the cash option of the prize will also grow exponentially, reaching $401.8 million! According to statistics, players would most likely opt for this instead of the long-drawn-out annuity prize of one immediate payment and 29 annual installments.
Hysteria Sets In
With tickets on the verge of bursting the pot to its absolute capacity, ticket sales will be sure to soar through the next couple of days. Some statistics even report an influx of sales totaling nearly double those seen previously!
