Mega Millions players in North Carolina can have fun this weekend trying their luck on a $348 million jackpot.

A winner tonight would have the choice of taking home the $348 million jackpot as an annuity or $155.5 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 7,300 winning tickets in North Carolina.

When North Carolinians play Mega Millions, they are also helping to raise money for education programs in the state. Over $7.1 million has been raised for education in North Carolina during the current Mega Millions run.

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.

2x multipier again on my Friday night $5 per draw rigged lotto ticket. NCEL you and your colleagues are dirty. You help to make our society dirty under the guise of doing good. It's like stealing in the name of justice. Do you think this will make a better world for your children? You would be wise to expose the corruption under a government mandated audit.NC Lottery
Hi, Brian! All of our practices and games are independently reviewed and audited to ensure fairness for all players. Playing the lottery is a game of chance, and it's important to play for fun knowing it takes luck to win a prize. We hope you (and all of our players) will only play if you're enjoying yourself - otherwise, it may be a good time to take a break!

Sure am glad lottery sales is going good. It is so sad that Rutherfordton County is having to close 2 schools. How much lottery money has been sent to Rutherfordton County in the last 12 months? What can lottery money be spent on for the schools?NC Lottery
Hi, Jackie! Elected officials, not the lottery, decide how to best use the money we raise. Last year, Rutherford County received over $3.8 million in lottery dollars, and you can see a breakdown of how those funds were used at https://nclottery.com/EducationCounty/Rutherford.

Whoopity doo, all players standby for a low predetermined multiplier on your overpriced $5 per draw ticket for a rigged, computer program that polls all numbers played prior to the draw. Shame on you NCEL for promoting this corruption.
