No winner claimed the $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot on Christmas Eve, causing the prize to increase to $1.15 billion for the next drawing. Four people who matched five numbers but not the Mega Ball won $3 million each with the Megaplier. The next drawing will take place on Friday at 11 p.m. ET, with the potential for a record-breaking jackpot. The lump sum option for a winner would be around $516.1 million. The current jackpot has been growing since September, with the last winner being from Texas who won $810 million. Some of the largest wins in Mega Millions history have occurred in recent years, including a $1.6 billion jackpot won by a single winner from Florida. The Mega Millions Consortium is encouraging people to play responsibly and seek help if they have a gambling problem.
