The Mega Millions jackpot jumped from $900 million to $970 million Thursday, setting yet another record for the lottery prize, the Georgia Lottery said.
The jackpot has rolled over 25 times since July 27.
The previous jackpot of $900 million was the largest in the game’s history and the second-largest jackpot in U.S. history.
The next Mega Millions drawing is Friday night.
The Powerball jackpot also rose, with a new prize of $430 million. It has rolled over 19 times since Aug. 15.
No one matched all six winning numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing: 3, 64, 69, 68 and 57, with the Powerball being 15.
It was previously at $868 million after no one matched the winning numbers on Tuesday night.
