Mega Millions jackpot skyrockets to $790M

The Mega Millions jackpot has grown to the fourth highest amount in the history of any lottery game.
With no one having a ticket with all the winning numbers drawn Friday night, the estimated prize for the next drawing on Tuesday, July 26, is $790 million ($464.4 million cash).
The jackpot rolled again after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night: the white balls 14, 40, 60, 64, and 66, plus the gold Mega Ball 16.
There have been only three lottery jackpots ever won – in any game – at a higher level than next Tuesday’s estimated prize of $790 million.
Two were Mega Millions jackpots – $1.537 billion won in South Carolina on October 23, 2018, and $1.050 billion won in Michigan on January 22, 2021. The current world record lottery prize is a $1.586 billion Powerball® jackpot won on January 13, 2016.
