Mega Millions Jackpot Hits $754M for Halloween Drawing!
UPDATE: The Mega Millions jackpot has surged to an astonishing $754 million for the upcoming Halloween drawing on October 31, 2023. As families across the U.S. prepare for trick-or-treating, lottery players are eagerly anticipating this record-breaking event.
The current jackpot, boasting a cash option of $352.8 million, marks the largest ever offered on Halloween. This thrilling drawing follows a lackluster result earlier this week, when the previous jackpot of $714 million went unclaimed during Tuesday’s drawing.
In that drawing, no one managed to match all numbers, but 502,089 winning tickets were sold, resulting in prizes totaling around $10.1 million. Winning numbers from October 28 included 2, 19, 33, 53, and 61, with a Mega Ball of 14. Eight players matched the four white balls and the Mega Ball but fell short of the jackpot.
The excitement surrounding the Halloween drawing is palpable, as this will mark the seventh time in Mega Millions history that a drawing occurs on this festive day. However, none of the past drawings have offered a jackpot anywhere near the current amount, which has been building for months. The last jackpot was claimed in Virginia on June 27, when a player won $348 million.
Since that win, the jackpot has eluded players for an incredible 35 consecutive drawings. During this period, 17 players have still managed to snag seven-figure sums by matching all but the Mega Ball. Mega Millions has awarded four jackpots in 2025 alone, including wins of $112 million in January and April, as well as $349 million in March.
As the countdown to Halloween continues, players are urged to purchase their tickets and join in the excitement. With a jackpot of this magnitude, the anticipation is at an all-time high. Will a lucky player finally break the streak and claim this life-changing prize?
Stay tuned for updates following the drawing, as millions will be watching to see if the jackpot is won tonight!
