New Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot Totals Rise Past $100 Million: Check Report Before You Buy Tickets

Tonight’s all new Mega Millions lottery jackpot drawing has risen well past $100 million. Check the report below to see how much you won.

The all new total for tonight’s massive Mega Millions total has risen to a whopping $127 million with an estimated cash value of $81 million.

The official Mega Millions lottery website is reporting on the largest prize ever won in Chicago, IL:

“CHICAGO, IL – Naperville resident Jesus Davila Jr. became the winner of the largest prize in Illinois Lottery history when the first line of numbers on his $5 Quick Pick ticket matched all six numbers – 26 - 32 - 44 - 45 - 58 - (11) – to win the jackpot in the Friday, January 16, Mega Millions drawing. That day, he was the only person—among the millions who bought tickets in 44 states, Washington DC, and the U.S. Virgin Islands—to match all six numbers.

“Today Illinois Lottery officials presented Davila a $265 million oversized check at the James R Thompson Center in Chicago to commemorate his history-making win.

“‘I’ve been lucky enough to meet the two largest lottery winners in the proud history of the Illinois Lottery: the $218 million winner in March 2012 from Red Bud Illinois, and now Mr. Davila from nearby Naperville. His experience, as was the case in beautiful Red Bud, proves that anything’s possible,’ said Lottery Director Michael Jones.”
