RALEIGH, N.C. — The Mega Millions Jackpot has grown to $548 million. This is the third-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.
The jackpot grew after no one claimed the prize from Tuesday’s drawing. The winning numbers for the previous drawing were 20, 22, 39, 54 and 60, including the gold Mega Ball 18.
If one single ticket were to claim the $548 million dollar jackpot, the lump sum payment would be $309 million.

- Consult with a financial adviser
- Hire an attorney
- Remember you have six months to come forward, so you can take your time.
