Mega Millions jackpot raised to $636 million

December 17, 2013 By Dar Danielson

The Iowa Lottery says strong sales in Iowa and across the country have pushed thet Mega Millions jackpot even higher for tonight’s drawing. The jackpot, initially estimated at $550 million for tonight’s drawing,  has been raised again this morning to an estimated $636 million. It’s now the second-largest jackpot on the list of world record lotto prizes and it’s the second-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.

Iowa Lottery officials say the Mega Millions jackpot was last won in the drawing on October 1st with a ticket sold in Maryland, so it’s been growing for more than two months. It has now “rolled” 21 times in a row – meaning no one won the jackpot, so it continued to grow.
