(Gray News) – Some lucky person may have a lot to be thankful for this year.
The Mega Millions jackpot is now more than $500 million for the fourth time this year.
No one has matched all six balls in more than two months. It was last won at $810 million in Texas on Sept. 10.
“While there’s still a little more than a month left in 2024, never before in the game’s history have only three jackpots been won through November of any year,” lottery officials said.
In 2023, 10 Mega Millions jackpots were won which was more than any year since the game had a major matrix change in 2013.
The overall odds of winning any Mega Millions prize are 1 in 24, but the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.
The next drawing is Friday night at 11 p.m. (ET) in Atlanta, Georgia.
