The Mega Millions jackpot is more than $1 billion. Here's how many Taylor Swift tickets, iPhones and private jets you could buy if you won. The grand prize drawing will be held Friday at 11 p.m. ET.

The Mega Millions jackpot shot to $1.22 billion this week — the seventh time in Mega Millions history that the jackpot has surpassed the billion-dollar mark.

While a sizable tax bill would knock down the jackpot’s amount considerably, we took a look and opted to use $1 billion to illustrate the full scope of the prize.

Several Stadiums' Worth Of The Most Expensive Taylor Swift Tickets

Ticket prices for Taylor Swift’s "Eras Tour" varied by location and date. When the tour went live in Glendale, Ariz., in 2023, the average ticket price there was $529. But at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the average ticket expense was $3,071, making it the most expensive location, according to USA Today. At that average ticket price, the Mega Millions jackpot winner could afford to buy 325,626 tickets, or buy out the 70,000-seat stadium 4.7 times.

More Arizona Iced Tea Cans Than Jackpot Dollars

A $1 billion jackpot could buy more than 1 billion cans of AriZona tea. You read that right. For more than three decades, the company has consistently kept the brand’s 23-ounce cans at 99 cents. The founder, Don Vultaggio, spilled the tea on the consistent price in an interview with NBC’s Today show earlier this year.

"We're successful, we're debt free, we own everything," Vultaggio said. "Why have people who are having a hard time paying their rent pay more for our drink? Maybe it's my little way to give back."

However, retailers and business owners have the right to set their own prices. That’s why you may pay more than the can’s suggested 99-cent price at a place like a gas station.
