BOSTON (WHDH) - The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s drawing has jumped to an estimated $515 million, lottery officials said.
Friday night’s Mega Millions jackpot is the game’s largest since January 22, 2021, when a $1.02 billion jackpot was won on a ticket sold in Michigan.
The drawing will also be the 26th since the jackpot was last hit in February, when a $96 million jackpot was won on a ticket sold in New York.
If hit, the $515 million jackpot would be the ninth-largest in the history of the game.
Mega Millions tickets are $2 each and can be purchased until 10:45 p.m. on Tuesday at Mass Lottery retailers across Massachusetts.
