Mega Millions Jackpot Rises to $575 Million for Tuesday

The Mega Millions jackpot has risen to an estimated $575 million for Tuesday’s drawing, which would comprise the ninth biggest in the history of the game. This wager probably comes as no surprise: no players picked all six of Saturday’s figures in the current run of no-jackpot wins.

For the most recent Mega Millions game, the figures were 28, 30, 44, 66, and 69, while the 2s ball was a 2, while the Megaplier was a 3x. While the grand award remained slippy over all contributors, other winners were worth mentioning. A Texas ticket-holder was able to bag $1 million by betting five points, while another from Tennessee raised his reward to $3 million with the Megaplier. Earning of between $200 and $1,000 ($1,000 was won by three participants, more than any other sum) was also given to participants in various other states, including Arkansas.

Incidentally, the last time someone’s Mega Millions prize was unsuccessful was on June 4th when a winning card worth $552 million was acquired in Illinois. Only one month ahead of Tuesday’s pull, this bonus was won. The huge influx of players and the media craze about the possibility of a rare sum of money are the principal reasons for the advance of the stakes. The present odds to win while you play are somewhere about 1 in 302.6 million, which is prohibitively low to offer anybody their dreams. However, the reward scale offered by group games such as Mega Millions has proven to be a draw for recreational players.

This still naturally raises interest in talks about bigger sums of money, which will help fuel the current trend of the jackpot sizes up. Over the 2010s, more hundreds of millions of dollars are sold in group games, incentivizing a stronger ethical argument on how much is good for society. A few hours remain until the next drawing, and all participants are holding their fingers crossed in the hope of a lucky fate that could be won on Tuesday.
