The increase, close to $600 million, came three days after the lottery announced that the jackpot had surpassed the $500 million mark for the first time this year. Mega Millions said this point had been crossed in two cases over the past 12 months.
Two surpassed the $1 billion mark last year: one hit $1.348 billion in January and another hit $1.602 billion in August.
