LANSING, Mich. – The Mega Millions Jackpot is up to one-third of a billion!
Tuesday night’s Mega Millions jackpot is now up to $333 million. The cash option for tonight’s jackpot is $226 million.
The $333 million jackpot is the largest Mega Millions jackpot in 2016, according to Michigan Lottery officials. In January, one ticket purchased in New York matched the five white balls and Mega ball to win a $169 million jackpot.
The last Michigan player to win the Mega Millions jackpot was Kelsey Zachow, of Port Huron. Zachow won the game’s $66 million jackpot in June 2014.
If a Michigan player win’s tonight’s $333 million jackpot, it would be the largest Mega Millions prize won in the state. On April 22, 2005, a Port Huron couple, Ralph and Mary Stebbins, won $208 million.
The drawing takes place Tuesday night about 11:00pm. We’ll have the numbers on FOX 17 News at 11:00pm. Tickets are available for sale up until 10:45pm.
