Big Number
1-in-290.4 million. Those are the abysmal odds the Florida ticket buyer had to overcome to win the Mega Millions jackpot on Tuesday night. This is only slightly better than the Powerball lottery’s even worse odds of 1-in-292.2 million.
Key Background
This is the biggest lottery prize of the year so far, eclipsing the $533 million jackpot won by a Mega Millions ticket buyer from Illinois in March. The ongoing Powerball jackpot has grown larger as well, but there is no winner yet. The biggest completed Powerball jackpot of the year so far is a $250.8 million prize won by a lottery player from Arkansas.
