Mega Millions jackpot closing in on $800 million

With no winners since December, the Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow before the next drawing, and could soon eclipse $800 million.

The jackpot sits at an estimated $792 million with a $381.8 million cash option ahead of Friday's drawing, still the sixth-largest prize in the game's history.

No one has won the Mega Millions since December 2023, when two tickets in California shared the $394 million jackpot. The largest jackpot ever won in the Mega Millions lottery was in August 2023, when a single ticket won the $1.602 billion prize out of Neptune Beach, Florida.

Here's everything you need to know about the next Mega Millions drawing.

Mega Millions drawings are every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET.

The next drawing is Friday, March 15.
