Mega Millions jackpot grows to $800 million after no grand prize winner

The Mega Millions jackpot jumped to an estimated $800 million after no tickets matched the winning numbers during Friday night’s drawing.

The winning numbers drawn on Friday were 6, 23, 41, 59 and 63 with a Mega ball of 25. The Megaplier was 2X.

Nobody won the estimated $740 million jackpot Friday night, but five players — one each in California, Florida, Illinois, New Hampshire and Texas — matched all five white balls to win $1 million while another player in Ohio matched all five white balls and had the optional Megaplier to win $2 million.

The next Mega Millions drawing will be held on Tuesday when players will attempt to win the estimated $800 million grand prize, which carries a cash option of $401.8 million.

It would be the seventh-largest prize if it is won on Tuesday.

Winners typically select the cash prize rather than the annuity paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments.
