Winning numbers drawn for Mega Millions' $977M jackpot

Check your tickets! No one has won the game’s jackpot since Dec. 8, a string of 29 consecutive drawings without anyone matching all of the game’s six numbers. That has enabled the jackpot to slowly grow, week after week. The $977 million prize is for the sole winner who chooses to be paid through an annuity over 30 years. Winners almost always opt for a cash payment, which for Friday’s drawing would be an estimated $461 million. Friday's jackpot ranks as the 10th largest in U.S.

The estimated jackpot was $893 million with a cash prize of $421.4 million. Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET.Tickets cost $2 and are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Five white balls are drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 70, and one gold "Mega Ball" is drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 25. Players win if the numbers on one row of the Mega Millions ticket match the numbers of the balls drawn.
