Mega Millions Jackpot Hits Nearly a Billion Dollars

(Undated) — The Mega Millions Jackpot has grown to almost a billion dollars for the Christmas Eve drawing. No one matched all six numbers in Friday’s drawing, so the grand prize jumps to 944 million dollars for the next drawing on Tuesday night. The cash option would be worth about 429-million. Lottery officials say five tickets in the December 20th drawing are worth a million dollars each. Two were sold in Indiana. The other million dollar winners were sold in Arkansas, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.
