The Mega Millions jackpot has increased by $60 million, and now stands at almost $600 million for Friday’s drawing as there were no winners matching all six numbers in Tuesday’s drawing.
If a player wins Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot, it would be the second largest Mega Millions jackpot won this year. The Mega Millions jackpot was last won in Michigan in January 2021 by an Oakland County lottery club. The club won a $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That jackpot was the largest ever won in Michigan and the sixth largest in U.S. lottery history.
The Mega Millions jackpot was last won in April, when one ticket purchased in New York matched the five white balls and Mega ball to win a $20 million jackpot.
The odds of matching all six numbers is approximately 1 in 302,575,350. Tickets are $2 each to purchase, with the winner(s) being announced Friday at 11pm.
