Lottery officials announced that no tickets matched all six numbers in the recent Mega Millions draw, increasing the jackpot to nearly $1 billion. With the next drawing on Dec. 24, players could dream big this holiday season, as the excitement builds around a potential $944 million prize and a cash payout of around $429 million for the lucky winner.
The current Mega Millions jackpot of approximately $944 million marks the 29th consecutive drawing without a winner since September 10, 2024, a testament to the unusual lottery streak this season.
If someone wins on Christmas Eve, it would be a remarkable event since only three jackpots have been awarded in 2024, the fewest in any year since Mega Millions began.
Historically, this event would make it only the second time in the lottery's history that a jackpot has been won on Christmas Eve, a rarity given the game's track record.
