Mega Millions Jackpot Reaches $150 Million

The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to an estimated $150 million for Friday's drawing after no one claimed the top prize on Tuesday.

The winning numbers will be drawn just after 11 p.m. on Friday.

In March, a lucky Mega Millions player from New Jersey won a whopping $1.1 billion. Although that prize has not been claimed yet, the lottery says it's not the first time a jackpot went unclaimed.

If someone wins Friday night's $150 million jackpot, they can take home an estimated $71.0 million lump-sum payment, according to the lottery.

Check below for the winning numbers from the Friday, Oct. 11 Mega Millions drawing.

How to Play the Mega Millions

To buy a ticket, visit your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. In a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online.

To play, pick six numbers: five white balls ranging from 1 to 70, and the gold Mega Ball between 1 and 25.

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 Megaplier balls in all:

  • 2X, five balls
  • 3X, six balls
  • 4X, three balls
  • 5X, one ball
