What is Mega Millions?
Mega Millions is a nationwide game of chance with drawings on Tuesdays and Fridays.
No one won the jackpot in Tuesday night’s drawing, which means Friday’s drawing will be for an estimated $625 million, which is the largest jackpot since December 2024 and the 11th largest in Mega Millions history.
“It’s been more than three months since the last jackpot was won and that’s always exciting because it means a big, big jackpot,” Mega Millions Consortium Lead Director Joshua Johnston said in a press release.
Mega Millions tickets cost $5 each and can be purchased at more than 3,500 locations statewide. Every ticket includes a multiplier of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X.
