Mega Millions January 11: When Is The Drawing For $50 Million Jackpot?

It is the end of the week, which means it is time for yet another chance to win tens of millions of dollars from the Mega Millions lottery. Since nobody won the jackpot on Tuesday, the grand prize shot up to $50 million.

In order to win, players need to get their numbers by 11 p.m. ET on Friday. That is when the winning numbers will be drawn and Mega Millions players will find out if they won anything.

The jackpot is $50 million with a cash option of $30.1 million. It had previously been as high as $437 million, before someone in New York bought a winning ticket on New Year’s Day. It was only the second time in the history of Mega Millions that someone won a jackpot on the first day of the year.

Nobody has won a jackpot since. It will continue growing if nobody wins on Friday night.
