The Mega Millions jackpot will increase from $284 million to $305 million after nobody won the drawing on Friday.
The jackpot for Tuesday has a cash value of $158.2 million.
Friday’s winning numbers were 29, 31, 46, 54, and 67. The Gold Ball was 18 and there was a 2x Megaplier.
The last win was on October 14 when players in Florida and California won the $502 million dollar jackpot.
There have been three times where the Mega Millions jackpot surpassed $1 billion. This happened in October 2018 when a ticket in South Carolina won the $1.537 billion jackpot. This is the world’s largest jackpot for one ticket as well as the largest cash value, which was $878 million.
Last year combined jackpots for Mega Millions and Powerball reached $1.7 billion, according to iHeartRadio.
Both jackpots will increase each game until someone matches all six numbers.
