The $1.25 billion prize for Friday's drawing is one of the largest in U.S. history.

Is today, August 1, the day? The nation awaits the lucky $1.1 billion Mega Millions jackpot winner as a drawing was held Tuesday night.

No one has won the Mega Millions jackpot since April 18, and the $1.05 billion jackpot is tied for the seventh-largest in U.S. history. Tuesday night’s drawing will be the 30th since someone last won the jackpot.

If it seems like lottery jackpots topping $1 billion are more common nowadays, it's because they are.

There were no jackpot winners Friday night, but there were $1 million and $5 million winners in four states.

Friday night's estimated $910 million prize has been building since someone last won the jackpot on April 18. There have been 28 straight drawings without a jackpot winner since then.

The Mega Millions lottery jackpot is approaching $1 billion ahead of Friday’s drawing, driving first-time buyers and other hopefuls to stock up on tickets.

Cynthia Neely originally thought someone else had won the jackpot when she saw that it was starting over with a smaller amount.

The new $910 million prize for Friday night's drawing is among the largest in U.S. lottery history. The largest jackpot was a $2.04 billion Powerball prize won in November 2022.

Tuesday's drawing is now the fifth largest Mega Millions jackpot in the history of the game.

Navor Herrera and his family received $1 million after lottery officials said Las Palmitas mini market in downtown LA sold the winning Powerball jackpot.
