The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an astounding $1.25 billion, making it the fourth-largest in Mega Millions history.
No winning tickets were sold for the $1.1 billion prize on Tuesday night. The winning numbers were 8, 24, 30, 45, 61, with a Mega Ball of 12.
As more tickets are sold, the jackpot could climb even higher before Friday’s drawing. The winner can choose to receive the prize as an annuity or a one-time cash payment, with the current cash option estimated at around $625.3 million.
