The Mega Millions jackpot is now $910 million after months without a big winner

Lottery players will have another shot at a huge Mega Millions jackpot and a chance to break a stretch of more than three months without a big winner of the game. Friday night's estimated $910 million prize has been building since someone last won the jackpot April 18. There have been 28 straight drawings without a jackpot winner since then. The jackpot is now the eighth-largest ever in the U.S. The $910 million prize would be for a sole winner choosing to be paid through an annuity over 30 years. Jackpot winners usually opt for a lump sum payment. That would be an estimated $464.2 million for Friday night’s drawing. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are about 1 in 302.6 million.
