The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s drawing is estimated to be $331 million, with the winning numbers being drawn at 11 p.m. ET. If someone wins, they could walk away with $153.1 million in cash. A player in New Jersey won a $1.13 billion jackpot earlier this year. The winning numbers for the May 10 drawing were 13, 22, 26, 32, 65 with a Megaball of 18 and a Megaplier of 4X. Tickets can be purchased in person at various locations or online through Jackpocket in select states. Players choose six numbers (five white balls from 1 to 70 and one gold Mega Ball from 1 to 25) or opt for a Quick Pick. Adding the Megaplier for $1 can increase non-grand prize winnings by up to five times. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday and Friday. Jackpocket is the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, available in several states and territories. Must be 18+ to play, with different age requirements in certain states.
