The start of another month means more Mega Millions! Since February, the jackpot has been climbing and with each drawing, it’s gotten larger and stronger.
Not much changed in the May 4, 2021 drawing. A few intrepid players won a million dollars, and another still won $3 million. Yet, the mighty oak of the Mega Millions jackpot didn’t sway and grew to $370 million.
