American Lottery players are spoiled for choice with big lottery jackpots, and seeing jackpots reach 9 figures hardly creates a blink of an eye. However, when they grow, they grow fast and this week it’s the Mega Millions jackpot gaining pace as a rollover pushes it up to $172 million for Tuesday’s draw, This makes the Mega Millions Lottery one of the biggest jackpots available in the world right now, something that will ensure the draw catches the attention of world lottery players too.
The last Mega Millions Lottery jackpot was won back on February 4th, when lucky Jimmy McClelland from Indianapolis shared a Mega Millions jackpot worth $93 million. He will be sharing the $46.5 million lump-sum total with his siblings, making them some of the luckiest lottery players across America.
Since that date the Mega Millions jackpot has been steadily climbing every Tuesday and Friday evening from the $12 million base jackpot, up to the $172 million up for grabs tomorrow evening. Sales of lottery tickets are likely to be brisk across all 42 US states where the Mega Millions Lottery is played, and may even exceed estimate. If Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot is not won, then we may be heading for $200 million at the weekend!
