The Mega Millions lottery jackpot is on the rise once again, with the current estimated jackpot for the next drawing sitting at $47 million. The winning numbers for Friday’s drawing were 20-21-40-49-55 with the Mega Ball being 11 and the Megaplier at 3X. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350, but that doesn’t stop players from trying their luck.
Players have the option to choose six numbers from two pools, with the jackpot being won by matching all six numbers. Winners can decide to receive 30 annual payments, each increasing by five percent, or a lump-sum payment.
Mega Millions drawings are held on Tuesdays and Fridays, with tickets costing $2 each. The game is available in 45 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In a recent drawing on September 10, someone walked away with an $800 million jackpot, which has since reset and has continued to grow.
So, if you’re feeling lucky, be sure to grab your tickets and check your numbers for a chance to become tonight’s lucky winner. Who knows, you could be the next person to strike it rich with the Mega Millions lottery!
