Mega Millions January 29: Drawing Time For $109 Million Jackpot

Each week features two number drawings for the Mega Millions lottery, and this week is no different. Tuesday night will see another chance for players to take home a massive sum of money, but only if they can do the nearly-impossible and get all the right numbers.

The Mega Millions drawing for Tuesday, Jan. 29, is at 11 p.m. ET. Nobody has claimed a Mega Millions jackpot since Jan. 1, so it has steadily grown each week to increasingly immense sizes. The jackpot for Tuesday’s drawing will be $109 million, with a $65.3 million cash option.

In order to win, players need to pick six numbers and hope all six match to get the biggest prize. Tickets are $2 apiece and players can still win money by picking fewer than six matching numbers. For example, a player in New York walked away with $2 million on Friday despite not winning the jackpot.

If nobody wins the jackpot on Tuesday, it will grow by at least $5 million in time for Friday’s drawing. The last winner was on New Year’s Day, after the jackpot had grown all the way to $437 million. The winning ticket was purchased in New York state.
