Feeling lucky? Mega Millions jackpot of over a half-billion dollars up for grabs tonight
The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday night has climbed to $530 million.
The drawing is at 9 p.m. MT, so you have plenty of time to remember to swing by the gas station on the way home.
This is the first time the Mega Millions jackpot has exceeded $500 million since last October’s record-breaking $1.5 billion mark.
If you win you can also take a cash option of $343.9 million.
There are actually more Mega Millions winners than you may think, relatively speaking. They just don’t win the big buy-a-bigger-yacht-to-park-your-other-yachts-in money.
According to Mega Millions, one ticket won $2 million and four others won $1 million in Tuesday night’s drawing. Hey, it won’t get you a private island, but maybe it’ll be enough to put your kid through college.
Mega Millions is played in 44 states — including Texas and New Mexico — plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
