Mega Millions Jackpot Hits $70 Million

The Mega Millions jackpot has surged to an impressive $70 million, with the drawing scheduled for Friday, December 12th. This substantial prize is available after no ticket matched all the winning numbers in the previous drawing. Should a lucky individual match all six numbers, they will have the option of a one-time cash payment totaling $32 million.

This year has already been eventful for Mega Millions players, with six individuals successfully claiming the jackpot. The most recent winner, from New Jersey on December 2nd, secured $90 million. This win followed a significant prize of $983 million awarded to a Georgia player on November 14th. The anticipation is high as the potential for another major winner looms.

Players can purchase tickets at various locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores, with some states also offering online purchases. Tickets feature a multiplier option that can increase non-jackpot prizes. Lottery courier Jackpocket provides a digital platform for purchasing tickets in several U.S. states and territories, offering a convenient way to play.
