DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A giant Mega Millions lottery jackpot ballooned to $1.02 billion after no one matched all six numbers Tuesday night and won the top prize. The new estimated jackpot for Friday's drawing will be the nation’s fourth-largest lottery prize. The jackpot has grown so large because no one has matched the game’s six selected numbers since April 15. Tuesday’s numbers were: 07-29-60-63-66, Mega Ball: 15. Most winners opt for the cash option, which for the next drawing Friday night is an estimated $602.5 million.
