Historic Mega Millions Christmas jackpot
This year’s Christmas Mega Millions jackpot marks the biggest prize ever offered in the history of the game. Previously, the largest Christmas jackpot occurred in 2018. On that date, the estimated jackpot was $321 million. Thus, tonight’s drawing marks the largest jackpot on Christmas Day.
Additionally, no jackpot has ever been won on Christmas. The 2018 Christmas jackpot kept rolling to the start of the new year.
Could this be the year that the first Mega Millions Christmas jackpot winner will be crowned?
