The Mega Millions jackpot has risen to a whopping $825 million, making it the seventh largest in the game’s history, just days before the holidays.

Not a single lottery participant grabbed a ticket on Tuesday evening in which all six numbers were drawn, catapulting the jackpot into record-breaking territory. They were 56, 66, 67, 68 and 69 and Mega Ball 18.

It was the 14th straight week without a major winner, dating back to September 10, when a player in Texas won a $394 million prize.

However, the drawing resulted in “1,602,721 winning tickets in all non-jackpot prize tiers,” five of which matched all five white balls for a $1 million prize, Mega Millions said in a news release Wednesday.

One of the tickets, purchased in North Carolina, is worth $4 million because it included the optional Megaplier — available for an additional $1 — which was available at 4X on Tuesday night. Two other winning tickets were sold in California and two more in Louisiana and Oklahoma.

“There were 55 tickets available across the country with four white balls and the Mega Ball to win third prize,” Mega Millions said. “Seventeen of these are worth $40,000 each because they also include the optional Megaplier; The other 38 each take home the usual $10,000. ”

The next drawing is scheduled for Friday. Should a ticket holder match all six numbers drawn, they will receive a jackpot of $825 million, which comes with a one-time cash option worth an estimated $382.2 million. With a win, they would become only the third person to hit the jackpot in 2024, which would mark the fewest wins in a single year since the game began.

It would also be “the largest prize ever won in December and the seventh largest in Mega Millions history!” the lottery said.

Currently only 13 people have hit the jackpot in December, although no one has ever won the jackpot on Christmas Day.

The largest Mega Millions pot of all time, a whopping $1.602 billion, was won in August last year. The winning ticket was purchased in Neptune, Florida.
