CLEVELAND, Ohio — Holiday excitement is reaching new heights as the Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday, December 17, has surged to $760 million, with a cash option of $352.1 million.

This massive prize marks the eighth-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history, drawing national attention as players hope to land a life-changing windfall.

Ohio has a history of Mega Millions luck, with the state’s last jackpot winner claiming a $372 million prize on December 17, 2019, exactly five years ago, from a ticket sold at Giant Eagle in Mentor.

Tickets for the game are $2 each, and players can add the $1 Megaplier option to multiply non-jackpot winnings. With the holiday season in full swing, the potential jackpot winner could spread some extra cheer this year.

The drawing takes place Tuesday night, and all eyes will be on the numbers as players across the country dream of winning big.
