According to the Mega Millions operator, there were no winners who matched all six numbers in the draw on October 31 (local time). The winning numbers are 2, 24, 52, 66, 68 and Gold Mega Ball 9.
As a result, the prize money rose to $800 million (about KRW 1.14 trillion) ahead of the next drawing day, November 5.
When receiving a lump sum payment, the cash payment amounts to about 371.7 million dollars (about 530 billion won).
This is because it has been accumulated since the last first-place winner came out of Virginia on June 27.
The next draw will be held ahead of Thanksgiving (16 November), with many lottery buyers expecting dreams of 'Jackpot'.
Mega Millions said in a press release that `The last time there was a winner in November was 2016, and there were a total of 16 wins in November alone since the start of the game in 2002", he explained. The largest of these was $326 million (about 465 billion won) from New York on Nov. 4, 2014.
If there is a buyer who answers all six numbers in this lottery, it will be the ninth highest winning amount in Mega Millions history.
Mega Millions Lottery tickets are sold in 45 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. Virgin Islands, costing $5 a ticket. The draw is held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. EDT in Atlanta, Georgia. In most regions, purchases can be made up to one to two hours before the draw.
According to Mega Millions, the chance of winning the first prize is 1 in 290,472,336.
The purchase method is to manually or automatically select five different numbers (white balls) from 1 to 70 and one number from 1 to 24 (gold mega balls).
