Although the chances are slim, if predictions of a $1.55 billion top prize are accurate, Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing might result in a jackpot that breaks all previous records.
The $1.537 billion jackpot won in October 2018 was the previous record-holder for the game.
According to game authorities, the new jackpot, which was projected to be $1.55 billion, was achieved since no one took home the grand prize in Friday night’s drawing.
It has taken months for the potential record-breaking prize to materialize. On April 18, the most recent jackpot winner was announced. When no one wins, jackpots in Mega Millions and Powerball keep growing.
One in 302,575,350 have a chance of winning the Mega Millions jackpot.
In 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the US Virgin Islands, the game is played.
