No winner in Mega Millions drawing, jackpot over $500 million

The Mega Millions jackpot is now worth over a half billion dollars.

No one matched the winning numbers – 29, 46, 53, 64, 73 and the Mega ball 10 – in Tuesday night’s drawing.  That pushes the prize to $508 million for the next drawing Friday night.

That’s the third largest Mega Millions prize ever and seventh largest lottery jackpot all-time in the U.S.

Delaware is still waiting for its first Mega Millions jackpot winner.

The odds of matching all 6 numbers in the Mega Millions drawing are 1 in 258-point-9 million.  

And another big jackpot is up for grabs Wednesday.  The latest Powerball drawing is worth $257 million.
