Mega Millions Jackpot Jumps to $8 Million – Are You Holding the Lucky Ticket? 

Current Jackpot: The Mega Millions jackpot is now $8 million, and it’s sure to keep growing if no one wins in the next draw. 

Odds of Winning: The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.6 million, which makes it a tough prize to claim, but hey, someone’s got to win! 

How to Play: To play, pick five numbers between 1 and 70, plus one Mega Ball number between 1 and 25. If your numbers match all six drawn, you win the jackpot. 

Cash Option: Winners can choose between the annuity option (paid over 30 years) or a one-time lump-sum cash payout, which will be less than the full jackpot amount. 

Other Prize Tiers: You don’t have to match all six numbers to win. Smaller prizes are available for matching just the Mega Ball or some of the numbers, including up to $1 million for matching five numbers (excluding the Mega Ball). 

Drawing Schedule: Mega Millions draws happen every Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m. ET. Make sure to buy your ticket before the cutoff time! 

Big Winners: The Mega Millions game has produced some massive winners, and as the jackpot grows, more people take a chance at winning big. 

Check Your Numbers: If you’ve already purchased a ticket, it’s time to check your numbers. You can do so via the Mega Millions website or by visiting your local retailer.
