Mega Millions tends to its mighty oak with great care, knowing that it takes time for an acorn to sprout into a massive tree. Said tree must be protected from anything that can cause it harm.
Three months ago, in the middle of a devastatingly cold week, a $20 million acorn fell from a prior Mega Millions. Over time, the jackpot grew, eventually surpassing the $96 million that had been won way back when. The May 18, 2021 drawing saw the jackpot dig its roots even deeper and surpass the half-billion-dollar mark! When all was said and done, the prize had grown to $515 million.
