The next Mega Millions drawing will be held on Tuesday, offering an estimated $560 million grand prize with a cash option of $258.4 million. Most winners choose the cash prize over the annuity, which is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments.

This jackpot is now the ninth-largest prize in Mega Millions history.

The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 302,575,350, according to the game.

The Mega Millions jackpot was last claimed on March 26, when a New Jersey player won $1.13 billion, the fifth-largest jackpot in the game’s history.

The record jackpot of $1.602 billion was won in Florida on August 8, 2023.

Mega Millions is available in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be purchased until 9:45 p.m. on the night of the Tuesday and Friday draws.
