The fifth-largest Mega Millions jackpot in history is up for grabs tonight, giving players a chance to win $720 million. The cash option for the jackpot is about $370 million.

If a player wins tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot, it would be the second largest Mega Millions jackpot won this year. In January, a Maine player won a $1.338 billion Mega Millions Jackpot. The Mega Millions jackpot was last won in April, when one ticket purchased in New York matched the five white balls and Mega ball to win a $20 million jackpot.

The Mega Millions jackpot was last won in Michigan in January 2021 by an Oakland County lottery club. The club won a $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That jackpot was the largest ever won in Michigan and the sixth largest in U.S. lottery history.

Lottery retailers throughout the state are selling Mega Millions tickets until 10:45 p.m. tonight. Tickets also may be purchased online at MichiganLottery.com.

For an additional $1 per play, players have the opportunity to add a “Megaplier” that can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to five times. Mega Millions tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
