Mega Millions Jackpot Jumps to $900 Million After No Winner on November 7
Imagine a giant lottery game called Mega Millions where people buy tickets to try and win a huge amount of money.
Recently, the biggest prize was $843 million!
That's like a giant pile of money.
On Friday, November 7, people bought lots of tickets hoping their numbers would be the winning ones.
The winning numbers were announced, but sadly, no one had all the correct numbers.
So, the money didn't go to anyone this time.
Because no one won, the giant pile of money for the next game got even bigger, now up to $900 million!
This happens when the grand prize isn't won, and it keeps getting bigger until someone finally wins it all.
The game also changed its rules a bit, making tickets cost more but also making it a tiny bit easier to win something.
No ticket matched all six numbers in the November 7 Mega Millions drawing for the $843 million jackpot.
The next Mega Millions jackpot has increased to an estimated $900 million.
The last jackpot win was on June 27, for $348 million in Virginia.
Mega Millions tickets were recently increased in price from $2 to $5.
Winning the jackpot odds improved slightly from 1 in 303 million to 1 in 290 million.
