One of the two major U.S. lotteries is venturing into all-time records territory as Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing was worth $785 million.
The winning numbers were 25-29-33-41-44, with the Mega Ball being 18.
The failure of anyone to win the previous drawing Friday night made it 22 straight drawings without a match of all six numbers.
There have just three bigger MegaMillions jackpots and two bigger Powerball prizes in U.S. history. If Tuesday’s drawing produces no winner, the prize Friday could leap to around $900 million and thereafter venture into the “billion” territory.
The $785 million drawing comes less than two months after the biggest lottery prize ever, a $2.
