Mega Millions Jackpot Soars to $150 Million: Time to Make America Great Again?
The Mega Millions jackpot is on a roll, skyrocketing to an estimated $150 million for Friday's drawing, after no one snagged the top prize on Tuesday. Buckle up, patriots!
The winning numbers will be drawn just after 11 p.m. on Friday, and we'll have them right here.
Back in March, some lucky devil from New Jersey bagged a mind-blowing $1.1 billion. Shockingly, that prize still hasn't been claimed. Guess they're busy building their own border wall or something.
If you win Friday night's $150 million jackpot, you could take home an estimated $71.0 million lump-sum payment, according to the lottery. Cha-ching!
Check below for the winning numbers from the Friday, Oct. 11 Mega Millions drawing.

How to play the Mega Millions
To buy a ticket, head to your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store – and in some states, you can purchase tickets online. It's like voting, but with better odds.
Pick six numbers – five white balls (1-70) and one gold Mega Ball (1-25). Feeling lazy? Ask for a "Quick Pick" or an "Easy Pick", and let the computer do the heavy lifting.
For $1 extra, add the "Megaplier" to boost non-grand prize winnings by up to five times. There are 15 Megaplier balls in all.
Where can you buy lottery tickets?
Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets. Because nothing says 'Welcome to America' like a Powerball ticket.
You can also order tickets online through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, in select states. Must be 18+, 21+ in AZ, and 19+ in NE.
