DES MOINES, Iowa | A goliath Mega Millions lottery bonanza expanded to $1.02 billion after nobody matched each of the six numbers Tuesday night and won the top award.
The newly assessed bonanza will be the country's fourth-biggest lottery prize.
The bonanza has become so huge on the grounds that nobody has matched the game's six chosen numbers since April 15. That is 29 continuous drawings without a major victor.
Tuesday's numbers were: 07-29-60-63-66, Mega Ball: 15.
The $1.02 billion award is for champs who pick the annuity choice, paid yearly north of 30 years. Most champs decide on the money choice, which for the following drawing Friday night is an expected $602.5 million.
