The Half Billion Dollar Mega Millions Drawing Is Tonight!

If you've been waiting to buy your Mega Millions lottery ticket, time is running out to be in for tonight's half-billion dollar grand prize!

We told you on Wednesday about the fact that no winner in Tuesday night's drawing meant that the next jackpot would balloon to near-record heights.

In the days since, the influx of ticket buying has raised the jackpot another $20 million for an estimated grand prize of $521 million.

Yes, that's over half-a-billion dollars!

It's also worth noting that New Jersey has had a good Mega Millions week, with a $1 million ticket having been sold at a Bedminster QuickChek for this past Tuesday's drawing.

Tonight's drawing is at 11pm, and the New Jersey Lottery closes Mega Millions sales at 10:45pm on the day of the drawing, so you have until then to get your lucky numbers ready and start to dream about what you would do with the 4th largest Mega Millions jackpot in history!
