The Mega Millions jackpot keeps on growing and now stands at $575 million for Friday’s drawing.

A winner tonight would have the choice of taking home the $575 million jackpot as an annuity or $264.6 million in cash.

Even though the jackpot remains up for grabs, players are taking home lots of other prizes playing Mega Millions. Tuesday’s drawing produced more than 10,000 winning tickets in North Carolina.

The Mega Millions jackpot has been on a roll since a single ticket in Virginia won a $348 million jackpot on June 27.

The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 290 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.

Here is the holiday season high jackpot push for increased profits. At $5 per play,it should increase quicker. But the Multi State lotteries have scared off a lot of players now with their excessive greed and rigged games. They bring shame to themselves and their families.
