The Mega Millions jackpot has been raised again in anticipation of Friday’s drawing, now totaling $660 million.
The $660 million jackpot represents the third largest in the 20-year history of the game. A North Carolina winner on Friday night would have the choice of taking the $660 million as an annuity or $376.9 million in cash.
A $1 million win occurred in Tuesday’s drawing with a $2 ticket purchased at a Gastonia convenience store. The prize has not yet been claimed. Other big wins on Tuesday night in North Carolina included one prize of $10,000 and two $30,000 prizes.
The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.
