Mega Millions jackpot grows to $1.1B after no grand prize win

The Mega Millions jackpot rose to an estimated $1.1 billion after no tickets matched the winning numbers in Friday night's drawing. The winning numbers drawn Friday night were 3, 8, 31, 35 and 44 with a Mega ball of 16. The Megaplier was 3X.

The next Mega Millions drawing will be held on Tuesday when players will attempt to win the estimated $1.1 billion grand prize, which carries a cash option of $525.8 million. Winners typically select the cash prize over the Mega Millions annuity paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 302,575,350, according to the game. The Mega Millions jackpot was last won on Dec.

The record $1.602 billion jackpot was won in Florida on Aug. 8, 2023. That prize is the world’s largest lottery ever won on a single ticket. The current $1.1 billion jackpot is the fifth-largest prize ever offered by the game. Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
