The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an impressive $687 million for the upcoming draw on Friday night, as no one claimed the big prize in the previous drawing. The winning numbers for this massive jackpot will be announced around 11 p.m. EST on Friday, with a cash option awarding the lucky winner an estimated $333.4 million. The anticipation is high as players wait to see if these numbers could change their lives forever.
In order to purchase a Mega Millions ticket, players must select six numbers, with five white balls ranging from 1 to 70 and one gold Mega Ball between 1 and 25. For those who believe the odds are stacked against them, opting for a “Quick Pick” or “Easy Pick” will have the computer generate random numbers. Additionally, players can add the “Megaplier” for $1, which can multiply non-grand prize winnings by two, three, four, or five times. The Mega Millions draw takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays, with 15 Megaplier balls in total.
For those feeling lucky and eager to participate in the excitement, tickets can also be ordered online through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA Today Network. Available in select U.S. states and territories, this convenient app allows players to select their game, numbers, and even collect their winnings all from the comfort of their own home. The opportunity to win big with Mega Millions draws many hopefuls, each taking a chance at beating the odds and securing a life-changing jackpot prize.
