The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday's drawing has climbed to $331 million after no one won the jackpot on Friday.
The winning numbers were drawn just after 11 p.m. ET on Friday and we will have the results below.
If a lucky player wins in Friday's drawing, they could walk away with an estimated cash value of $144.4 million in a lump-sum payment , according to the lottery.
Mega Millions players, get those tickets ready because the jackpot is climbing again! There were no jackpot winners in Friday's drawing, but Tuesday's drawing has jumped to an estimated $331 million. There were three lucky winners that became millionaires after Friday’s drawing. A player in California, Illinois and New Jersey won $1 million after having all the correct white ball numbers for the Match 5.
In order to buy a ticket, you'll have to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store − and in a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online .
To play, you will need to pick six numbers. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The gold Mega Ball is one number between 1 and 25.
If you believe the odds are against you, ask for a "Quick Pick" or an "Easy Pick," the computer will randomly generate the numbers for you.
Players can add the "Megaplier" for $1, which can increase non-grand prize winnings by two, three, four or five times. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday and Friday.
There are 15 Megapiler balls in all:
2X , five balls
3X , six balls
4X , three balls
5X , one ball
