Will a $5 Mega Millions ticket make you a multimillionaire tonight? The Mega Millions jackpot has surpassed half a billion ahead of Fourth of July weekend.
The jackpot was last claimed in March, twice in one week. On Tuesday, March 10, a Mega Millions ticket purchased in Illinois matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball to win a $533 million prize. Exactly one week later, on St. Patrick's Day, a Mega Millions ticket purchased in Ohio matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball to win a $60 million prize.
The jackpot has since rolled over 29 times and now sits at $511 million, with a cash option of $231 million for tonight's drawing after no one matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball in the Friday, June 26, drawing.
When is the next Mega Millions drawing?
Mega Millions drawings are at 11 p.m. ET every Tuesday and Friday, including holidays. The next Mega Millions lottery drawing will be at 11 p.m. ET on Friday, July 3.
