The Mega Millions jackpot is on the verge of reaching an impressive milestone of $1 billion if no winner is drawn in the upcoming Friday night draw. The current jackpot stands at a staggering $977 million, making it one of the largest jackpots in lottery history. After Tuesday's draw, the cash option for the jackpot amounts to $461 million.
California resident, Theo, recently claimed the second-largest jackpot in history at a whopping $1.765 billion. In August, a lucky individual from Florida won the largest Mega Millions jackpot ever recorded, a jaw-dropping $1.602 billion, but has yet to come forward to claim the prize.
