The winning numbers for Friday's estimated $815 million Mega Millions jackpot have been drawn. They are 13, 25, 50, 51 and 66, and a Mega Ball of 6.
There was no immediate word on whether any winning tickets had been sold. There has not been a jackpot winner since Dec. 8.
A single-winning ticket in Friday's jackpot would have the choice to receive either a one-time lump-sum payment of about $385 million in cash before taxes, or receive annuity payments over 30 years.
This would mark the sixth-largest jackpot in the game's history, with the top five all over a billion dollars.
In August of last year, a single winning ticket was sold in Neptune, Florida, for a $1.6 billion jackpot, the largest in Mega Millions history, and the third-largest in lottery history.
In February 2023, a winning ticket sold near Los Angeles claimed a $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot, the largest in lottery history.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are approximately one in 302.58 million.
Mega Millions drawings take place at 11 p.m. Eastern on Tuesdays and Fridays. Tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands for $2 each.
