For the fifth time in the history of the Mega Millions lottery, the jackpot has grown past the $700 million mark after no one had the winning ticket in last night’s drawing. The jackpot for Friday’s drawing is now an estimated $720 million after no ticket had last night’s numbers of 19, 22, 31, 37, 54, and the Megaball of 18, and there’s an interesting fact the Mega Millions corporation pointed out in their press release after the drawing; the last four times the jackpot topped $700 million, it continued to build until it reached a billion dollars. Meanwhile, players around the country have a chance to win a massive jackpot with the Powerball prize shooting up to $1-billion. That drawing is tonight.
