Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs to $229 Million

On October 22, 2024, the Mega Millions lottery drawing did not produce a winner for the $205 million jackpot, which now rises to $229 million with a cash option of $107.4 million for the next draw scheduled for October 25. The winning numbers were 8, 43, 48, 58, 60, and Mega Ball 4 with a Megaplier of 3x. This marks another rollover since the $800 million prize was won on September 10 by a ticket purchased in Texas. In addition to Mega Millions, lotteries such as the Colorado, Delaware, Arizona, and Florida lotteries continue to offer various games, with winnings contributing to state programs and providing opportunities for smaller local wins. Players can purchase tickets at retail locations or online through services like Jackpocket in participating states. Lotteries offer detailed instructions for claiming prizes and vary in the anonymity policies for winners.
