The Mega Millions jackpot continues to climb as it crossed the $350 million mark for Tuesday’s drawing.

Even though the jackpot remains up for grabs, players are taking home lots of other prizes as Friday’s drawing produced more than 19,600 winning tickets in North Carolina.
The state of North Carolina also benefits when the Mega Millions jackpot keeps growing as the current jackpot run has raised more than $5 million for education programs in the state.
Another chance to win big this week occurs Wednesday when the Powerball drawing offers a $228 million jackpot as an annuity or $112.6 million in cash.
The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302 million. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
