(NEW YORK) — The Mega Millions jackpot is expected to climb to $977 Million for Friday’s drawing, after no single ticket won the jackpot on Tuesday, the lottery said.<\/p>\n

Winning numbers were drawn Tuesday evening for the Mega Millions $893 million jackpot. The winning numbers were 24, 46, 49, 62, 66 and gold Mega Ball 7.<\/p>\n

The jackpot prize has a cash value of $421.4 million, which can be offered as a one-time lump sum payment, or an immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments.<\/p>\n

The total of $893 million is the sixth-largest in Mega Millions history.<\/p>\n

The numbers Saturday night were 13, 25, 50, 51, 66 and gold Mega Ball 6. While there was no big winner, one person in New York won $1 million for matching the five white balls.<\/p>\n

There have been 28 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. The last jackpot was won on Dec. 8.<\/p>\n

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350, according to Mega Millions.<\/p>\n

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets are $2 for one play.<\/p>\n

The largest Mega Millions jackpot prize ever won was $1.6 billion prize won on Aug. 8, 2023. There have only been five jackpots that have exceeded $1 billion in Mega Millions history, according to the lottery game.<\/p>\n

And if you don’t win Mega Millions, there’s always Powerball. The latest Powerball jackpot has surged to $687 million ($327.3 million cash value) ahead of Wednesday night’s drawing.<\/p>\n
