Friday the 13th may turn out to be a lucky day for someone as the Mega Millions jackpot soared to an estimated $1.35 billion after no one won the big prize Tuesday night. It is the second-largest jackpot in the lottery’s history.
Although no one won the jackpot Tuesday night, three people did win $3 million, including a person in New York and another in Connecticut. People in New York and New Jersey also held tickets worth $1 million.

“The jackpot has rolled again, keeping everyone who follows Mega Millions in suspense for yet another drawing,” says Ohio Lottery Director Pat McDonald, lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium.
The lottery says the only Mega Millions jackpot larger than Friday’s estimated prize is the game record of $1.537 billion, won in South Carolina on October 23, 2018.
