$515 Million Mega Millions® Jackpot Set for Tonight

5/21/2021
Middletown, PA – The Mega Millions® jackpot has surpassed the half-billion mark to an estimated annuity value of $515 million, or $346.3 million cash, for tonight’s drawing. The jackpot has been rolling since it was last won in New York on February 16, and if the jackpot is won at $515 million, it will be the ninth-largest jackpot win in Mega Millions® history.
 
If you’re planning to play, remember that Mega Millions ticket sales in Pennsylvania end at 9:59 p.m. on drawing nights,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. “We’re also reminding our players to play responsibly and that it only takes one ticket to win big.”
 
If there is no Mega Millions® jackpot winner in tonight’s drawing, the estimated jackpot for the Tuesday, May 25 drawing will be $560 million with an estimated cash value of $379.1 million.

Pennsylvania Lottery players also have an option to purchase their Mega Millions® ticket online or by visiting a retailer. Players can find lottery-selling locations closest to them by visiting the Find a Retailer section of the Lottery’s website.
 
Additionally, pooling ticket purchases with friends can be a fun way to play responsibly. To help players manage their pooled ticket purchases, Pool Play forms are available at www.palottery.com.
 
Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Mega Millions® winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. The holder of the winning ticket should sign the back of the ticket and contact the nearest Lottery office.
