The jackpot had reached an estimated $277 million with a cash value of $120.4 million before the draw took place. Players across the United States were closely watching the results as the lottery remained without a grand prize winner since an Ohio ticket claimed a $60 million jackpot on St. Patrick’s Day earlier this year.
