Estimates of the value of the US “Mega Millions” lottery prize reached about $ 1.55 billion, Tuesday, after the winning ticket holder did not appear in Friday’s draw among the millions of Americans participating in the draw from various states.
If the ticket holder appears during Tuesday’s drawing, the prize website said, they can choose between receiving $1.55 billion in 29 annual payments or an immediate cash sum of approximately $752.2 million.
He added in a press release that the amounts will be known accurately upon withdrawal.
In last Friday’s draw, nine participants matched all five white balls needed to win the second category of the prize, which is worth at least $1 million each.
Two players won $2 million each when they chose the Megaplayer category, which increases the chances of winning all prizes except the Grand Prize.
The last Mega Millions jackpot winner was from New York, who took home $20 million in April.
The prize draws take place on Tuesday and Friday of every week.
