Mega Millions Jackpot Increases To $830M Hours Before Drawing WHUR Contributor July 27, 2022 at 10:26 am in ENTERTAINMENT, NEWS Tweet The jackpot for Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing, which was originally reported to be $790 million, has grown again. So many people have been buying tickets that the prize has increased to $830 million — making it the third-largest jackpot in the game’s history, lottery officials say. But before you run out to buy a ticket, you might want to keep this in mind: The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot — for which you’d have to match all five numbers and the Mega Ball — are 302,575,350 to 1. Although the odds of winning $1 million by matching just five numbers are better, you still have only a 1 in 12.6 million chance of doing that, according to lottery officials. https://whur.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Mega-Millions-Jackpot-Increases-To-830M-Hours-Before-Drawing.mp4 Tags: Mega Millions Jackpot Increases To $830M Hours Before Drawing
