Mega Millions jackpot rises to $800 million after no top prize winner

Mega Millions jackpot rises to 0 million after no top prize winner

The Mega Millions Jackpot rose to an estimated $800 million after not a single ticket had the correct winning numbers in Friday night’s drawing.

The winning numbers drawn on Friday were 6, 23, 41, 59 and 63 with a Mega number of 25. The Megaplier was 2X.

No one won the $740 million jackpot on Friday night, but five players – one each from California, Florida, Illinois, New Hampshire and Texas – matched all five white balls and won $1 million, while another player from Ohio matched all five white balls and won $2 million using the optional Megaplier.

The next Mega Millions drawing will take place on Tuesday, when players will try to win the estimated $800 million top prize, which is a Cash payment option of 401.8 million US dollars.

It would be the seventh-largest prize if won on Tuesday.

Winners typically choose the cash prize rather than the annuity, which is paid out in one lump sum and then in 29 annual payments.
