The Mega Millions jackpot rolls on as it reached $440 million for Tuesday night’s drawing.
The $440 million prize sits as the highest level that a Mega Millions jackpot has reached in more than a year. The last time the jackpot reached this level occurred on May 21, 2021 when a winning group in Pennsylvania took home a $516 million jackpot.
A North Carolina winner would have the choice of taking the $440 million as an annuity or $247.8 million in cash.
Even though the jackpot remains up for grabs, North Carolinians continue to win other big prizes in drawings. Friday’s Mega Millions drawing saw a $30,000 winning ticket sold at the BP on Idlewild Road in Indian Trail in Union County.
The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.
Players can buy Mega Millions tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com, or with the lottery’s app, the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.
