Will the $910m Mega Millions Jackpot Be Won Tonight?
There’s a massive $910 million jackpot in tonight’s Mega Millions draw. More millionaires could well be created tonight even if the top prize isn’t won. Perhaps it’ll be a ticket sold at Lottery24 that changes your life forever?
The last time the Mega Millions jackpot was won was on April 18. Tonight’s top prize is the fifth-largest in the history of the lottery. Even the cash option is $464.2 million. A rollover tonight means we are likely to see the jackpot go through the $1 billion mark for the second time this year.
$1 million win
Do you use your own special numbers or just a random selection? The July 18 Mega Millions draw saw a man from Maryland, USA use a random set of numbers and they won him $1 million.
The Windsor Mill resident has been using the numbers for a fair while and had some previous wins. This month though his luck was really in as he won the second-tier prize. If his ticket had also matched the Mega Ball he’d have won the $640 million jackpot.
Big Surprise
His Mega Millions ticket had been bought from a gas station. He had several unchecked tickets and got them checked a few days later. The biggest surprise of his life was on the way as he discovered his $1 million win.
The 68-year-old retiree recalled the moment he found out about his big win. “I kept staring at the ticket because I just couldn’t believe it,” he recalled. He really had won though and says his $1 million prize will be put into his savings account.
A better retirement
This month has also seen a $1 million Mega Millions prize won in Missouri, USA. That win came in the July 4 draw with the anonymous winner also struggling to believe he’d won so much. It took three looks at his ticket before he was convinced he’d won. He now plans on using his win to make his retirement “much better.” Could he get another big win in tonight’s draw?
