The Mega Millions jackpot continues to stay hot this summer as it just raced past one third of a billion dollars.
Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot stands at a $360 million annuity that is worth $199.3 million in cash.
Mega Millions and Powerball were engaged in a back-and-forth duel for which could offer the bigger jackpot until Wednesday night’s drawing when a lucky player in Vermont purchased the winning Powerball jackpot ticket, valued at $366.7 million.
While the Mega Millions jackpot is still up for grabs, one lucky player in North Carolina won a $10,000 prize in Tuesday’s drawing. The winning ticket, purchased at Murphy USA on Cotton Grove Road in Lexington, has yet to be claimed.
The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.
