The Mega Millions jackpot currently stands at $970 Million, and the prize may hit a staggering $1 BILLION before Friday night’s draw.

Strong ticket sales have been reported in a number of states. The Mega Millions is currently the third largest lotto prize in American history, and the jackpot could soon hit a new world record!

Residents in 45 states play Mega Millions. Regardless of where you live, you can play the World’s Biggest Lottery by purchasing official tickets online at theLotter.

theLotter has enabled millions of lottery players from around the world to buy lottery tickets. An official lottery ticket is purchased on your behalf by their local offices, and a scan of your ticket is sent to your account as part of their ‘See Your Ticket’ Service.

Nobody matched all six numbers during Tuesday night’s Mega Millions draw, and as the jackpot has not been won since last September when a player in Wisconsin won $120m, this is now the longest that Mega Millions has gone without a grand prize winner.

Tuesday’s draw saw 11 tickets match the first five numbers to win at least $1m - a large sum of money, but nothing in comparison to the huge jackpot that could be won this Friday night!

The Mega Millions jackpot winner will be able to choose between the $970m annuity option, which is awarded over 30 years, or the $716.3m option, which is paid immediately as one lump sum. Many Mega Millions winners to date have opted for the latter option.

Go to theLotter.com.
Login to your account and register a new one
Choose Mega Millions from the ‘Lotteries’ screen
Purchase your tickets!

The Mega Millions draw is made on Friday night at 11pm ET (4am GMT).
