Mega Millions Jackpot Hits $910 Million
For Texas residents, the anticipation is especially intense as the Mega Millions jackpot in the state has now skyrocketed to a mind-boggling $910 million. This incredible sum makes it the fifth-largest lottery prize in Texas’ history, sparking a flurry of ticket purchases as people hope to claim this life-changing reward, according to U.S. Sun.
The numbers drawn in Tuesday’s draw were 3, 5, 6, 44, 61, and the mega ball 25, but alas, no one managed to strike the winning combination. However, there’s still a chance for dreams to come true as the colossal prize, which also offers a lump-sum cash option of $464.2 million will be up for grabs in the upcoming mega millions jackpot drawing on Friday night.
According to the news release, the current mega millions jackpot is on the verge of reaching the illustrious $1 billion mark, a feat it has achieved four times in the past, most recently in January.
Should a grand prize winner emerge on Friday, it would secure its place as the fifth-largest jackpot in Mega Millions Jackpot history. Surpassing even that record-breaking ticket sold in Michigan, which astonishingly won a staggering $1.05 billion in 2021.

No Winners Yet for the Mega Millions Jackpot
According to Yahoo, while there were no winners of the mega millions jackpot this past Tuesday, two tickets – one sold in Texas and the other in Maryland – managed to match all five white balls, securing the game’s second-tier prize.
The Texas ticket holder is in for a pleasant surprise, as the inclusion of the optional Megaplier boosts their prize to an impressive $4 million. Meanwhile, the lucky winner in Maryland walks away with the standard $1 million prize, which is still no small sum.
The current record for the top Mega Millions jackpot stands at a jaw-dropping $1.537 billion, awarded to a lucky ticket holder in South Carolina in 2018. Following close behind is a $1.348 billion ticket sold in Maine in January, proving that these lotteries have the potential to create instant millionaires.
As the Mega Millions jackpot drawing for this massive prize approaches, the lottery fever is only intensified by the recent success of a Powerball ticket sold in Los Angeles. The fortunate holder of that ticket managed to match all the numbers and claimed a spectacular $1.08 billion prize, marking it as the third-largest Powerball jackpot in history.
With the Mega Millions jackpot drawing just around the corner, everyone is eagerly holding their breath, hoping that this time, they will be the lucky winner of the enormous $910 million jackpot, forever altering their lives and realizing their wildest dreams.
