Mega Millions Jackpot Nears $1 Billion as Players Chase Massive Win

The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Mega Millions grand prize blows people’s minds with a close to $1 billion figure. The total jackpot is estimated to be around $900 million. This is the eighth time the biggest prize will be among the top ten in the history of the game since the first draw in 2002.

The jackpot has been increased with each draw since June 27, when a single hand in Virginia won $348 million. This milestone of raising the mega jackpot to such a level for the third time only after the record-breaking $1.6 billion jackpot won by a Florida player on August 8.

Two more super-sized jackpots were taken home: On March 26, 2024 an individual in New Jersey claimed $1.1 billion and then on December 27, not far from the first, an almost $1.3 billion prize was won.

At the last lottery draw held on November 7, the jackpot was around $843 million but no ticket had all the winning numbers. There was no player who picked the five white numbers for a million-dollar prize. 16 players took home between $20,000 and $100,000 and more than 688,000 tickets were holders of small prizes.

A Pennsylvania Cash 5 player got the numbers 1, 20, 25, 38 and 40 right and won $870,000.

Ashley Revell is the English entrepreneur who founded our company. Jackpotinside.com is a review gambling site that he launched in 2022 and is currently developing. In 2004, he sold everything he owned, including clothes, to gamble $135,300. After betting on red, Revell doubled his money to $270,600 after the ball ended up on 7. After receiving funding from a British online bookmaker, Revell changed his name to "Ashley Blue Square Revell" and started an online poker company called Poker UTD. Without Sky One's Double or Nothing reality show, Revell's life-changing moment would have been lost in anonymity. Viewers helped Revell decide between red and black. Having bet everything on Black, the Brit would have flipped at the last minute and placed his bet on Red instead, which would have drastically altered the outcome. “There were only seconds left before I lost everything I had. In order to fund this crazy bet, I sold everything I owned and could not have left Las Vegas with anything more than my hired tuxedo.” After winning the life-changing prize, the 32-year-old founded his own poker company, Poker UTD. The venture ended up being short-lived, and he was eventually able to use the remaining funds to fund a motorbike trip across Europe, where he met his future wife as well. As an avid gambler, Ashley Revell has a deep knowledge and understanding of the gambling industry. He is also passionate about helping others and sharing that knowledge with them to make informed decisions. For that, the creation of the JackpotInside project becomes the perfect opportunity. We and Ashley Revell, who is the CEO of JackpotInside.com, welcome you and hope that our website helps you in any way. Good luck and have fun!
