How Fed interest rates are affecting the Mega Millions jackpot
FOX Business' Madison Alworth explains how the Federal Reserve influences the Mega Millions jackpot on 'Cavuto: Coast to Coast.'
The Mega Millions jackpot jumped to $560 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in the July 11 drawing.
This is just the seventh time in the game's 21-year history that the jackpot has surpassed $550 million.
The cash option for the next drawing on Friday is $281.1 million.
The current roll began after the jackpot was last won in April in New York.

Just three tickets matched the five white balls to win the standard second-tier prize of $1 million. Those were sold in California, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
