Friday night’s drawing for the Mega Millions brought out no grand-prize winner, which has skyrocketed the winnings pot to $600 million.

The winning numbers for Friday night included 03, 06, 16, 18, 58 and 11, which was the 2x Megaplier.

This is only the fourth time the Mega Millions pot has reached $600 million, according to NBC News. When a ticket didn’t match up to the winning numbers, the pot amount increased for the next Mega Millions drawing.

The next drawing will be on Tuesday, Jan. 12 and the grand prize will be $600 million with a cash option of $442.4 million. The last jackpot winner was in September 2020 and the prize was $120 million.

While no one won the grand prize this week, there were a few other lottery winners in the mix.

There were five winners from New York, California, New Jersey, Georgia and Massachusetts who matched the five white-ball numbers. Each winner received $1 million.

In addition, almost two million Americans won in the $2 category for hitting the Megapliar number on their ticket.

The Powerball drawing will be held on Saturday night with a prize pot of $470 million and has a cash option of $362.7 million. The last time this jackpot was won, was also in September of 2020 and the prize was $94 million.

The overall chances of winning some type of prize in the Mega Millions is 1 in 24. To win the jackpot, the chances are 1 in over 300 million.
