No Winners In Friday’s Mega Millions Drawing: Jackpot Reaches $480 Million
(CTN NEWS) – Following the absence of a winning ticket on Friday, the Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $480 million, with a cash alternative of $240.7 million. The next draw is scheduled for Tuesday.
None of the tickets matched all six numbers from the Friday draw, which included the white balls 8, 10, 17, 55, and 66, along with the gold Mega Ball 3.
Tuesday’s draw will mark the 24th drawing since the jackpot was last won, which occurred in New York on April 18.

In the July 7 drawing, there were nearly 1.2 million winning tickets across various prize tiers.
A ticket sold in California claimed the game’s second-highest prize by matching the five white balls. Additionally, 28 tickets from different parts of the country matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball, securing the third-tier prize.
Since the previous jackpot win, a total of 16 second-tier prizes of $1 million or more have been awarded.
