ATLANTA —
With no winning ticket sold for more than two months, the Mega Millions jackpot has reached a United States record.
No tickets matched Tuesday’s drawing of 9, 19, 34, 44, 51 with Mega Ball No. 24, rolling the jackpot over to an estimated $476 million, the largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
The last winning Mega Millions ticket was sold in Georgia for the Jan. 24 drawing, with a prize of $71 million.
Mega Millions drawings are held at 11 p.m. Eastern on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are estimated at around 1 in 176 million.
The current jackpot broke the record set in 2007 with a $390 million Mega Millions jackpot split between winners in Georgia and New Jersey.
Tuesday night’s jackpot was increased prior to the drawing due to an increase in sales.
Forty-two states, as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands and Washington D.C. participate in Mega Millions.
