Mega Millions numbers announced for $ 750 million jackpot

One of the biggest jackpots in US history will grow even more since there was no winner for Friday’s draw for the $ 750 million Mega Millions first prize.

The numbers were 3, 11, 12, 38, 43, with a Mega Ball of 15 and would have marked the fifth biggest jackpot ever drawn.

Mega Millions has estimated its next top prize to be $ 850 million, which would be the third all-time. The drawing is Tuesday.

Lottery players still have a chance to win big with Saturday’s draw for a $ 640 million Powerball first prize, the eighth-biggest jackpot. The odds of winning are one in 292.2 million.

It has been almost two years since a lottery jackpot got so big. No one has won the top prize in either game for months.

The jackpot amounts shown refer to winners who opt for an annuity, paid over 30 years. The winners almost always choose cash prizes, which for Powerball would amount to $ 478.7 million. The estimated cash prize for the upcoming Mega Millions jackpot is $ 628.2 million.

Mega Millions and Powerball are both played in 45 states as well as Washington, DC and the US Virgin Islands. Powerball is also offered in Puerto Rico.
