The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to an estimated $875 million after no winning tickets were sold in Friday night’s drawing. The winning numbers drawn were 13, 25, 50, 51, and 66 with a Mega ball of 6 and a Megaplier of 5X.
While no one hit the jackpot, one lucky player in New York did match all five white balls to win a $1 million prize. The next drawing for the $875 million jackpot will take place on Tuesday, giving players another chance to become an instant millionaire.
For those who prefer cash upfront, the cash option for the grand prize is $413.5 million. However, the odds of winning the jackpot are steep at 1 in 302,575,350.
The last Mega Millions jackpot was won on December 8th in California for $395 million. The record for the largest Mega Millions jackpot ever won stands at $1.602 billion, which was claimed in Florida in 2023.
The current $875 million jackpot now ranks as the sixth-largest in Mega Millions history. With excitement building as the drawing approaches, many are dreaming of what they would do with such a life-changing amount of money. Will Tuesday be the night a new millionaire is crowned? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for the latest updates on The Puck Drop.
