The Mega Millions jackpot just hit a big milestone as it raced past half a billion dollars for Tuesday’s drawing, offering a $530 million jackpot.
The $530 million prize is the eighth largest in the 20-year history of the game. A North Carolina winner on Tuesday would have the choice of taking the $530 million as an annuity or $304.7 million in cash.
While the jackpot keeps rolling, players in North Carolina continue to win other prizes. More than 40,000 winning tickets were sold in Friday’s drawing including a ticket worth $10,000 that came from the Scotchman on Carolina Beach Road in Wilmington.
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.
