But, in October 2018, all expectations were succeeded when the jackpot reached a whopping $1.53 billion, coming close to setting a new world record. This awesome win was cashed by a woman from South Carolina.

So, without even guessing all the Mega Millions winning numbers of the draw, you can scoop $5 million! Start playing Mega Millions from South Africa today!
