One Number Away From $489M
Description
One ticket in California came agonizingly close to winning the $467 million Mega Millions jackpot—just one number off, settling for $104,178 instead. The jackpot now climbs to $489 million for the next drawing, with a cash option at $220.9 million. While millions of tickets are sold nationwide, only a handful hit the big one—last won in March by an Illinois player for $536 million. Across the U.S., nearly 290,000 tickets won prizes, with California alone seeing 45,000 winners. It’s a reminder that while the odds are stacked against you, luck still strikes for some—even if not the jackpot.
