Is today your lucky day?
The lottery jackpot was an estimated $281 million with a cash option of $131.5 million for Friday night’s drawing, according to the Mega Millions website.
The jackpot was last won on Sept. 10 when a lottery player in Texas won $810 million – the seventh largest Mega Millions ever.
Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot is at $54 million with a cash option of $25.5 million, according to the Powerball website.
Here are the Mega Millions winning numbers for Friday, Nov. 1, 2024:
11 – 22 – 42 – 46 – 51 and Megaball 4
Megaplier was 2x
Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m.
The cost is $2 per ticket, but you can add the Megaplier for $1, which will increase the amount of your potential prize up to five times the original prize (except for the jackpot).
Each player selects five numbers from 1 to 70 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 25 for the Mega Ball. However, you can also have the lottery machine generate a random Quick Pick for you. You don’t need to be a U.S. citizen or a resident of a particular state where you purchase your ticket.
You can win $2 for the matching just one – the Mega Ball. Short of the jackpot, you can win up to $1 million for matching all five white balls (except in California). You can check all the prize payouts on the Mega Millions site here.
Tickets can be purchased in-person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets.
