"Record-breaking Mega Millions jackpot soars to $720 million in upcoming drawing"

The Mega Millions lottery jackpot is currently at $720 million, with the next drawing scheduled for Friday night. This comes after a $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot was won recently. The Mega Millions jackpot has been steadily increasing since April, with several large prizes already won this year. Players can purchase tickets for $2 each and have a chance to win by matching all six winning numbers. The Megaplier feature is also available in most states, which can increase non-jackpot prizes. Friday's Mega Millions jackpot is the fifth-largest in the lottery's history.
