When someone wins the Mega Millions jackpot, they will be among the top 10 largest pots of money taken home in the lottery game’s history.

The jackpot is an estimated $714 million annuity with a cash value of $334.1 million since no one selected all five numbers and the Mega Ball correctly on Friday night.

The numbers chosen on Oct. 24 were 11-18-31-51-56 and 24.

The next drawing is Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 11 p.m. ET.

One person was lucky enough to match five numbers and had a 2x multiplier, winning $2 million. There were 12 tickets that matched four numbers and the Mega Ball, winning between $20,000 and $50,000 depending on the multiplier they had.

According to the Mega Ball website, 312,684 people picked the right Mega Ball and took home between $10 and $50.

The largest jackpot in Mega Ball history was $1.602 billion won in Florida in 2023.

If the current jackpot is won, it would be the ninth-largest in the game’s history.
