The Mega Millions lottery jackpot is on the rise once again, with an estimated jackpot of $579 million up for grabs in the next drawing. The winning numbers from Friday’s drawing were 16-21-33-39-45 with the Mega Ball number being 24 and the Megaplier at 2X. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350, and players must match all six numbers to win the jackpot. Winners have the option to receive 30 annual payments or a lump-sum payment.
The previous jackpot was won on September 10, with a lucky player taking home the $800 million prize. If no one wins the upcoming jackpot, the amount will continue to climb for the next drawing.
