$965 Million Mega Millions Jackpot Up For Grabs Tonight

Mega Millions has continued to roll through the fall, now reaching its 40^th consecutive drawing and currently sitting on the edge of a billion-dollar jackpot! Tonight’s jackpot is for an estimated $965 million, the 8^th highest Mega Millions jackpot of all time.

If a player wins Friday's jackpot, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize estimated at $965 million or a lump sum payment estimated at $445.3 million. Both prize options are before taxes. If the winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5 percent each year.

The November 11 drawing had over 800,000 winning tickets sold nationally, featuring two $3 million dollar wins in Iowa and New York, and a $5 million winning ticket in Arizona. Kansas also had a big winner of $10,000! The winning numbers in the November 11 Mega Millions drawing were 10 – 13 – 40 – 42 – 46 Mega Ball 1.

Mega Millions tickets start at $5 per play, which now includes a randomly assigned multiplier to every play. The multiplier possibilities are 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, and 10X. Players select five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 24. There are nine prize tiers, and no breakeven prizes as every ticket includes at least a 2X multiplier. Players need to get their tickets before 8:59 p.m. on draw days to be eligible to win.
