Mega Millions set a record for lottery prizes after no one won the $ 1 billion prize on Friday. The previous record was a jackpot of $ 1,586 billion for a Powerball raffle in 2016. 

Lottery players face odds of 1 in 303 million to win the Mega Millions draw. By comparison, the odds of being killed by a shark are 1 in 3.7 million in their lifetime, according to the International Shark Attack File.

The Powerball lottery prize on Wednesday is $ 620 million, which makes it the fifth largest prize in US history. UU., After no one got all six numbers in Saturday's draw. The cash payment of the lump sum is estimated at $ 354.3 million.

Mega Millions tickets are sold in 44 US states. UU., The District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. Several states allow the purchase of tickets online, but prohibit purchases outside the state and abroad. 

Both lottery jackpots have recently been increased by rule changes that have reduced the chances of winning. The odds of winning Mega Millions increased one year ago from 1 in 259 million to generate bigger prizes.
