Mega Millions® Jackpot Increases to $164 Million

A wave of sales has upped the Mega Millions® estimated jackpot to $164 million for tonight's drawing!  If the jackpot gets hit tonight and the winner chooses the cash option, the lump sum payment is estimated at $98.9 million.

There have been 15 Mega Millions ® drawings without a jackpot winner since the current run began on September 15, 2015.  Though, the jackpot has yet to be hit, a few Rhode Island Lottery players have had some luck. To list a few, there have been 15 $500 winning tickets, two $1,000 winning tickets, two winning tickets worth $1,500, and one $5,000 winner sold in Rhode Island since the September 15th drawing.

All players should sign the back of their tickets immediately upon purchase so no one else can wrongfully claim their prize.
