The most recent big Mega Millions winner was a lucky lottery ticket holder in Arizona, who struck gold on Jan. 18, winning a $113 million jackpot. According to the lottery, only four tickets matched all six Mega Millions numbers in 2024 – the fewest jackpots won in a calendar year since the game began in 2002.

The Powerball jackpot rose to $416 million—the biggest of the year so far—after no tickets matched all six numbers drawn on Monday night, although the eventual winner will likely take home a much smaller payout after paying their taxes. The six numbers drawn on Monday night were 511, 18, 23, 38, 60 and red Powerball 9.

The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s lottery drawing has climbed to an estimated $277 million with a cash option of $129.5 million. The winning numbers were: 3, 17, 39, 42 and 70. The Mega Ball drawn was 1 with a Megaplier of 3X.
