Mega Millions Big Bust In New York State

The chance to set a new record in New York State came and went last night.

The jackpot for the Mega Millions was a New York record-breaking $541 million dollars but in the end, Mega Millions players in New York State were very unlucky.

According to the New York State Lottery, there was no grand prize winner and no big money winners in New York from last night's drawing.

The good news was there were several 4th place winners who also had the Megaplier which was 4x the prize amount. Those tickets won $2000.

Since no one claimed the grand prize, the chance to set a new record will happen again on Friday night. The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions is $579 million dollars which is just over $100 million more than the current record in New York for largest lottery jackpot ever won.
