The Mega Millions jackpot has been rolling since it was last won with two tickets in California on December 8.

March has been a very good month for Mega Millions jackpot winners. Since the game began in May 2002, 21 jackpots have been won during March, including two exceeding $500 million.



A $656 million prize on March 30, 2012, was shared by winning tickets in Illinois, Kansas, and Maryland; that was a world record for a jackpot game at the time.

A New Jersey player celebrated a $533 million win on March 30, 2018.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.

The Powerball jackpot has also risen to more than $800M dollars.
