Mega Millions Jackpot Grows to $390 Million

The Mega Millions jackpot for tonight’s drawing has quietly been building to its current $390 million level.

And if there is no Mega Millions jackpot winner tonight, the jackpot for Friday’s drawing will grow to an estimated $415 million.

“The current Mega Millions jackpot is tied for fourth among all-time Mega Millions jackpots,” said Lottery spokesman Chuck Baumann. “The largest Mega Millions jackpot, $656 million, was won in 2012.”

While Oregon Lottery officials are still waiting for the state’s first Mega Millions jackpot winner, Oregon Mega Millions players have won more than $8.8 million in prizes since Mega Millions was first offered in Oregon in March 2010.

Mega Millions is currently played in 46 jurisdictions including Oregon.

The Oregon Lottery reminds players to always sign the back of their Lottery tickets, regardless of the game.

In the event of winning a jackpot, they should consult with a trusted financial planner or similar professional to develop a plan for their winnings.

Prize winners of more than $50,000 should contact the Lottery office to schedule an appointment to claim their prize.

Since the Oregon Lottery began selling tickets on April 25, 1985, it has earned nearly $10 billion for economic development, public education, state parks and watershed enhancements. For more information on the Oregon Lottery visit www.oregonlottery.org
