Mega Millions Jackpot Grows to $560 Million After No Big Winners
Friday night’s Mega Millions jackpot, which was estimated to be worth $560 million, will continue to grow as no big winners were drawn. This was the first of two substantial lottery drawings to end the week.
The winning numbers for Friday’s drawing were 10-24-48-51-66, with the Mega Ball being 15. Although there were no jackpot winners, four tickets sold in California, North Carolina, and South Carolina matched the first five numbers, earning their owners a $1 million prize. The South Carolina ticket also won an additional $2 million for playing a 2x Megaplier.
For those who didn’t have luck with Friday’s drawing, there is another opportunity on Saturday with the Powerball prize estimated at a whopping $875 million, according to the Powerball website. This prize is the third-largest in Powerball history. The grand prize has not been won since April 19, and it has “rolled over” 36 times since then.
Both the Mega Millions and Powerball lotteries had drawings this week that failed to produce grand-prize winners. These lotteries are played in 45 states across the United States.
The Powerball drawing for the $875 million prize will take place at 10:59 p.m. ET on Saturday. Lottery enthusiasts and hopefuls will be eagerly awaiting the results, hoping to become the lucky winner of this massive jackpot.
