Mega Millions Jackpot Reaches $893 Million with No Winner Yet

The Mega Millions lottery jackpot has soared to an estimated $893 million as of Tuesday, March 19, 2024, with no recent jackpot winners announced. In parallel, the Powerball jackpot also continues to climb, reaching a significant figure of $687 million.

The Mega Millions winning numbers for the recent draw were 24, 46, 49, 62, 66, and Megaball 7, but as of now, it is uncertain if any winning tickets have been sold. Since the last jackpot winner on New Year's Day, there have been 28 Mega Millions drawings without a top prize winner, fueling the excitement among lottery players.

Tickets for the Mega Millions game are sold in 45 states across the U.S., including California, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington D.C., and West Virginia. Players can also choose to participate online through platforms like Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of Gannett and USA TODAY.

If a single ticket were to hit the Mega Millions jackpot, the winner would have the option to receive a lump-sum cash payment of around $421.4 million, or opt for an annuity that pays out the prize over 30 years. This massive jackpot marks the sixth-largest in Mega Millions history, building anticipation among lottery enthusiasts.

The previous Mega Millions top prizes were clinched in various locations including Neptune, Florida, and near Los Angeles in February 2023. These substantial jackpots have captured the attention of the public and driven ticket sales to new heights.
