The Mega Millions jackpot climbed to an estimated $965 million for Friday's drawing after no ticket matched all six numbers Tuesday night. If the prize surpasses $1 billion, it would mark only the eighth time in game history the jackpot reached 10-figure territory. The last jackpot winner was June 27, creating a streak of 39 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. Despite no jackpot winner this week, more than 809,000 tickets won prizes totaling over $27.9 million. Players face odds of approximately one in 290 million to win the top prize. The previous billion-dollar jackpot occurred last December at $1.269 billion. (Story URL)
