The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $541 million, with no winner since September. The next drawing will take place on Tuesday. According to Fox San Antonio, the winning numbers for last Friday’s drawing were 3, 29, 34, 37, 38, and the Mega Ball was 17. While there was no Grand Prize winner, there remains an opportunity for players to win the current jackpot.
The last jackpot win occurred in March, when an anonymous winner from New Jersey claimed a $1.1 billion prize, which is still unclaimed, as reported by MSN. Since then, the jackpot has continued to grow. In a recent drawing, an Oregon player won $1 million by matching all five white ball numbers in a Match 5.
How do you play Mega Millions? Tickets are available at local convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and some airport terminals. Tickets can also be purchased online through platforms like Jackpocket, a digital lottery courier partnered with the USA TODAY Network, available in several U.S. states and territories. To play, select five white balls between 1 and 70 and one gold Mega Ball between 1 and 25, or choose a 'Quick Pick' to have numbers randomly generated. The 'Megaplier' option is available for those wishing to multiply non-jackpot winnings.
The next drawing is scheduled for 11 p.m. Eastern time today. To participate, a ticket must be purchased.
