The jackpot has grown for more than two months without a winner and ranks as the sixth-largest in U.S history.
Lottery players have a shot at a nearly $1 billion Mega Millions prize when the numbers are drawn Friday night, a grand prize that has grown for more than two months without a winner and ranks as the sixth-largest in U.S history.
The numbers drawn Friday, Jan. 6 were 3-20-46-59-63, Mega Ball 13 and Megaplier 3X.
Unfortunately, the odds of winning don’t increase with the jackpot. The odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega Ball are one in 302.6 million. There have been 23 straight drawings without a winner.
That $940 million jackpot is only for a winner who chooses to be paid through an annuity over 29 years.
