The Mega Millions jackpot rises to .15 billion after there was no winner on Christmas Eve

The Mega Millions jackpot rose to $1.15 billion on Wednesday after no ticket matched the numbers drawn on Tuesday, the lottery said.

The next drawing will take place on Friday at 11:00 p.m. ET. The cash value of the jackpot is estimated at $516.1 million.

The numbers drawn on Christmas Eve were 11, 14, 38, 45, 46 and the golden Mega Ball 3.

The estimated jackpot would make it the seventh largest in the game’s history and the seventh billion-dollar prize.

It would also be the biggest prize ever won in December if all six numbers drawn on a ticket were matched.

The last time the $810 million jackpot was won in Texas on September 10, no one has won the top prize in the last 29 drawings as the jackpot has increased sharply.

According to the game, the Mega Millions jackpot has only been won once on Christmas Eve. On December 24, 2002, a $68 million jackpot was won in New York, but was never claimed.

According to Mega Millions, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, DC and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets are $2 for a game.
