Some of the best songs take a while to write. Mega Millions has been working on one since mid-October. Nearly three months later, that hard work paid off.
On January 6, 2023, the jackpot made it over the $1 billion mark! Players tried valiantly, but all failed to stop the jackpot from rising to $1.1 billion.

Three-Number Combinations
