The Mega Millions jackpot was reset to $50 million. Find out the winning numbers for Friday's drawing and how to play.
The Mega Millions jackpot was reset to $50 million with a cash value of $22.9 million ahead of the Friday, March 13, drawing after one lucky player from Illinois won $533 million on Tuesday, March 10.
If someone were to get lucky on Friday and win the jackpot, they’ll have two options: take home a one-time, lump-sum cash payment or receive an immediate payment followed by annual checks, each 5% larger than the previous year.
Mega Millions had been in a bit of a dry spell as of late, as no one had won the jackpot since December, when a New Jersey ticket holder scored the $90 million jackpot.
The jackpot winner on Tuesday was the first person to win the Mega Millions jackpot in 2026, according to the lottery. The last jackpot was won on Dec. 2 in New Jersey. Since then, there have been 28 drawings.
With Friday’s Mega Millions drawing only hours away, here is what you need to know.
