Mega Millions jackpot estimated at $740 million

The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to an estimated $740 million for Friday night’s drawing. If won, it would be the seventh largest jackpot in the game’s history. The prize money continues to grow after no one matched the winning numbers Tuesday night. Though no one won the jackpot, two tickets from Kansas and Michigan matched five of the numbers to win $1 million. The last Mega Millions jackpot won was in Illinois on June 4, with earnings worth $552 million. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.
