Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs Again! January’s Prize Grows to $94 Million.
Current Jackpot: The jackpot has climbed to a jaw-dropping $94 million, offering a life-changing prize to the lucky winner.
Odds of Winning: The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.6 million, but someone will eventually win, and it could be you!
How to Play: To play, select five numbers between 1 and 70, plus one Mega Ball number between 1 and 25. If you match all six numbers, you win the jackpot.
Cash Option: Winners can choose a lump-sum cash payout, which is a smaller amount than the advertised jackpot, or opt for the annuity option, which is paid out over 30 years.
Other Prize Tiers: Even if you don’t win the jackpot, there are several smaller prizes. For example, matching five numbers (excluding the Mega Ball) can win you $1 million.
Drawing Schedule: Mega Millions drawings occur every Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m. ET, so make sure to buy your ticket before the drawing!
Tax Considerations: Winning a jackpot of this size will be subject to federal taxes and possibly state taxes, so the amount you take home will be less than the advertised prize.
Previous Winners: Mega Millions has produced many massive jackpots over the years, and with $94 million now up for grabs, the excitement is palpable.
