The Powerball jackpot has reached an impressive $450 million after months of no winners. The Mega Millions’ jackpot has been steadily growing after nobody matched all six numbers in the previous 33 consecutive drawings. The winning numbers for Friday night’s drawing were 8, 10, 17, 55, 66, and the Mega Ball was 3, with a Megaplier of 3X.
Unfortunately, no one was able to match all six numbers to win the estimated $450 million Mega Millions’ jackpot on Friday. As a result, the prize has now risen to $480 million, with a cash option of $240.7 million, ahead of the next drawing on Tuesday.
This news comes after there was also no grand prize winner in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing, as the winning ticket didn’t match all six numbers, causing the jackpot to roll over.
The estimated $450 million jackpot on Friday would be worth $225.6 million in cash if taken in a lump sum, according to Mega Millions. The odds of hitting the grand prize jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
