The highest Mega Millions jackpot to date after one roll is $12 million. In fact, every Mega Millions jackpot after one roll has been $12 million.I predict that if the $10 million jackpot is not won on Friday, the jackpot will roll to $14 million. A new one roll record.Good luck,Jake

For the second time in a row, the Mega Millions lottery rolled to $150 million and set two new records.It is currently the second largest jackpot in the US. This is a record high for the second largest jackpot. The previous record was $125 million.$150 million is also the largest MM jackpot after 13 rolls. The previous record was $138 million set on July 12, 2002. This is probably related to Texas joining MM.The 13 roll record for The Big Game lottery that MM replaced was $73 million. The Powerb...
