Mega Millions Fever: Jackpot Soars to $740 Million for Friday Night’s Drawing

The excitement is building as the Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow, now standing at a whopping $740 million for Friday’s drawing! If someone hits the big prize, they can choose the cash option of $366.3 million, making this one of the most highly anticipated drawings of the year.

If won, this would mark the third Mega Millions jackpot claimed in 2024 and the seventh largest in the game’s history. The current jackpot run began on June 7, and Friday’s drawing will be the 27th since the last winning ticket, which was sold in Illinois and valued at $552 million.

Michigan players have had their share of luck during this run, collecting over $3.5 million in prizes, including a recent $1 million win. The last time the Mega Millions jackpot was won in Michigan was in January 2021 when an Oakland County lottery club scored an astounding $1.05 billion—the largest prize ever won in the state.

Tickets are available at Lottery retailers across Michigan until 10:45 p.m. on Friday, and can also be purchased online here . Mega Millions drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday night, and each play costs just $2. For an extra $1, players can add the “Megaplier” feature, which can multiply non-jackpot winnings by up to five times.

With tickets selling fast and the jackpot climbing higher, now’s the time to get in on the action. You could be the next big winner
