Mega Millions jackpot reaches $1B as drawing nears

DES MOINES, Iowa – The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to an estimated $1 billion, as the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. lottery history gets even bigger. Lottery officials increased the grand prize just hours ahead of the Friday night drawing. The prize climbed from $970 million.    Although the jackpot keeps increasing , the odds of winning remain stuck at a miserable one in 302.5 million.
