Despite numerous near misses and some winners across the country, the Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow, now exceeding $800 million. The excitement surrounding this massive prize has only intensified, especially after the Halloween holiday passed without a jackpot winner.
As ticket sales continue, the grand prize is expected to increase further, leaving many eager participants hoping for a lucky draw.
Should someone claim the jackpot, opting for the cash-out option would still net them around $400 million after taxes. Mega Millions recently highlighted that November is typically a busy month for lotteries, with 16 jackpots won last year during this time.
“It has been a while since the Mega Millions jackpot was won during November; the last time was in 2016. Since the game began in 2002, though, there have been 16 jackpots won during the month; the largest to date was a $326 million prize won in New York on November 4, 2014.”
This year, with the entry price raised to $5, interest remains high, and players are flocking to see how the jackpot unfolds as Thanksgiving approaches.
