No Winners in Mega Millions Jackpot, Powerball Prize Soars to $875 Million
In a disappointing turn of events, the Mega Millions jackpot worth an estimated $560 million went unclaimed on Friday night. This marked the first of two substantial lottery drawings to end the week. The winning numbers for Friday’s draw were 10-24-48-51-66, with the Mega Ball being 15.
However, there were still some lucky winners. Four tickets sold in California, North Carolina, and South Carolina matched the first five numbers, earning their owners a $1 million prize each. The South Carolina ticket holder also played the 2x Megaplier, doubling their winnings to $2 million.
For those who missed out on the Mega Millions jackpot, there is still hope. The Powerball prize for Saturday’s drawing is estimated to be a staggering $875 million, according to the Powerball website. This makes it the third-largest prize in Powerball history. The grand prize has not been won since April 19, resulting in 36 consecutive rollovers.
Both the Mega Millions and Powerball lotteries had drawings this week that failed to produce any grand-prize winners. These lotteries are played in 45 states across the United States.
The Powerball drawing is scheduled to take place at 10:59 p.m. ET on Saturday. Lottery enthusiasts and dreamers alike will be eagerly awaiting the results, hoping to strike it rich with the massive 5 million prize.
