Jackpot now tied for fourth highest ever
For the fifth time in history, the Mega Millions jackpot reaches over a billion dollars! The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.05 billion ($527.9 million cash value) for the next drawing on Tuesday, August 1, 2023.
The jackpot has been rolling since it was last won in New York on April 18, and Tuesday’s drawing will be the 30th in this current run.
While we didn’t hit the big jackpot, one lucky Colorado player did win a third tier prize in the Friday, July 28 drawing:
- $10,000 winner sold at The Catherine Store in Carbondale
