The Mega Millions jackpot continues to climb as it hit the $400 million mark for Tuesday’s drawing.

A winner tonight would have the choice of taking home the $400 million jackpot as an annuity or $185.8 million in cash.

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

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.
