There’s still a chance to win $940M Mega Millions

• Mega Millions is played in 45 states.
• If there is no winner, the next drawing will be held Tuesday night.
• The odds of winning remain one in 302.6 million.

The odds of winning remain one in 302.6 million even as the prize increases to almost $1 billion. There will be another chance for lottery players to win a reward worth close to $1 billion in the Mega Millions drawing on Friday night if their numbers didn’t come up or if they just forgot to buy a ticket.

Since it began to rise more than two months ago, the estimated $940 million prize has risen to sixth place in American history.

The odds of winning stay the same at one in 302.6 million, despite the prize increasing.

The $940 million jackpot is available to those who select an annuity that will be paid out over a 29-year period. Cash is usually what winners seek, and for the drawing on Friday night, that would be approximately $483.5 million.

If there is no winner, the next drawing will be held Tuesday night.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
