Although your odds of winning tonight’s record-breaking Mega Millions are 1 in 303 million, the lottery fever has struck nationwide.

The jackpot for tonight’s Mega Millions is at a staggering record-breaking $1.6 BILLION.

That number is “uncharted territory” for Mega Millions, lottery officials said.

The numbers will be drawn tonight at 11 p.m. EST and if you plan on buying a ticket you better do so by 10 p.m. EST

The estimated cash option for a $1.6 billion jackpot (should a winner choose to take a one-time lump sum payment instead of annual payouts over 30 years) is about $905 million, according to Mega Millions officials.

The jackpot will increase to $2 billion for Friday’s drawing if there are no winners tonight.
