The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350 and while millions of players tried to hit the grand prize, nobody guessed correctly the winning numbers from its latest draw. On Friday, two players came close to the grand prize by matching five numbers, but nobody guessed correctly all drawn numbers which were white balls 10, 17, 20, 24 and 54, along with the gold Mega Ball 8.
Considering the survival of the Mega Millions grand prize on Friday, the jackpot is now estimated at the mind-blowing $681 million or $336.1 million in cash. The next drawing for the hefty prize is scheduled for Tuesday, September 3 at 11 PM ET.
In case a fortunate player beats the 1 in 302.5 million odds, they would win the seventh largest jackpot in the history of Mega Millions. What’s more, since the launch of the popular lottery game in 2002, 22 jackpots have been won in September.
The most recent Mega Millions grand prize that dropped in September was a $431 million jackpot from 2021. At the time, a fortunate player from New York won the grand prize from the game’s drawing on September 21, 2021. Still, in case a lucky winner matches all numbers on the upcoming drawing, they would be winning the largest-ever prize won in September.
While the jackpot continues to grow, so does the interest in Mega Millions. The latest draw saw 1,445,634 winning tickets within all prize tiers except for the jackpot.
Two fortunate players matched five numbers on the latest draw. One lucky winner from Wisconsin matched five numbers and paid extra for the game’s Megaplier, allowing them to win a $4 million prize, considering the 4x Megaplier on Friday. The second lucky player from Florida won the standard $1 million prize.
A total of 50 winners matched four white balls along with the gold Mega ball on Friday’s drawing. While six lucky players collected a $40,000 Megaplier prize each, the remaining 44 took home the standard $10,000 prize each.
On the other hand, a total of 1,105 Mega Millions players matched four numbers from the latest draw. While 239 of those won $2,000 Megaplier prize each, the remaining collected the standard prize of $500 each.
The last time an incredibly fortunate player won the game’s jackpot was early in June. At the time, a player from Illinois matched all winning numbers from the Mega Millions draw on June 4, winning the mind-boggling $552 million jackpot.
A tragic incident happened in Reno, where authorities are investigating a suspected murder-suicide that involved one of the famous casinos in the city. The unnerving incident has shocked the community, raising questions about safety and security within such establishments, especially as casino-related crime makes headlines with worrying regularity.
The investigation started when officers with the Reno Police Department responded to a report of a man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a local casino this Sunday. The man, whose identity remains confidential, was found in a hotel room and pronounced dead at the scene. However, further investigation revealed that this suicide could be linked to another suspected crime over 100 miles away.
Following that bleak find, Reno police let the Yuba City Police Department know they should perform a welfare check on a female at an apartment on Stabler Lane in Yuba City. The connection between the two locations became tragically clear when Yuba City officers forced entry into the apartment and found the lifeless body of 38-year-old Catalina Aceves of Live Oak.
The relationship between the two people and the circumstances leading up to the event are currently under investigation.

Authorities have since classified the incident as a murder-suicide, with evidence suggesting that the deaths of Aceves and the unidentified man are linked. The exact relationship between the two victims remains under investigation, but police suspect some sort of domestic dispute that might have escalated and led to the tragic event.
The Yuba City and Reno communities are grappling with the shock of this event, which has become another addition to a streak of high-profile violent crimes at or near US casinos. Just last month, a couple from Riverview, Florida, were ambushed and shot after winning $3,000 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The masked suspects followed them home and left the male victim with multiple gunshot wounds to his legs, but quick intervention by police saved his life. A police investigation led to the arrest of two men suspected of being involved in the armed robbery. Authorities suspect a third man may be involved as well.
Returning to the current case in Reno, both police departments are actively cooperating to piece together the timeline and motives behind the incident. So far, investigators believe no other individuals are involved in the case. The families and communities are mourning this senseless loss in search of answers after this devastating incident.
