The Mega Millions jackpot rolls on as it reached $414 million for Friday night’s drawing.
A North Carolina winner would have the choice of taking home the $414 million jackpot as an annuity or $221 million in cash.
The last jackpot win came in the Jan. 31 drawing when one ticket in Massachusetts took home the $31 million jackpot. That win marked the fourth jackpot win in the month of January alone, setting a record for the most jackpot wins in a single month in Mega Millions history.
Even though the jackpot remains up for grabs, North Carolinians are taking home lots of other prizes as Tuesday’s drawing produced more than 23,000 winning tickets in North Carolina.
The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302 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 NC Lottery Official Mobile App.
