The jackpot has now reset to $20 million for the Friday, Sept. 13 drawing. Seven Mega Millions jackpots have been won on a Friday the 13th, the lottery said.
Did anyone else win in the Sept. 10 drawing?
Tuesday’s drawing made other Mega Millions players million-dollar winners. Four lucky players from California, Florida, New York, and Washington won $1 million after having all the correct white ball numbers for the Match 5, the lottery said.
The lottery said if a player wins the jackpot on Friday, they could walk away with $10.1 million in cash.
How to play the Mega Millions
In order to buy a ticket, you'll have to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store − and in a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online.
To play, you will need to pick six numbers. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The gold Mega Ball is one number between 1 and 25.
If you believe the odds are against you, ask for a "Quick Pick" or an "Easy Pick," the computer will randomly generate the numbers for you.
Players can add the "Megaplier" for $1, which can increase non-grand prize winnings by two, three, four or five times. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday and Friday.
There are 15 Megapiler balls in all:
- 2X, five balls
- 3X, six balls
- 4X, three balls
- 5X, one ball
