A milestone was reached April 27, 2021. Mega Millions had its 666th drawing. That included the bygone days of “regular” balls 1 through 75 and Mega Balls 1 through 25.
The truly earth-shattering phenomenon of the evening was a rock-solid jackpot. As the end of April draws ever nearer, no one was able to bring it down to size. As a result, the prize grew to $319 million.
