CHARLESTON, W.Va . (WVVA) – The Mega Millions jackpot has risen to $843 million, that means it’s the eighth-largest prize in the game’s history. The cash value stands at $391.7 million for Friday night’s drawing.
This is just incredible to see for this game with its new format.
Less than seven full months ago, this game relaunched with a new price point and new features, and now it has a jackpot in the Top 10. It’s an exciting thing to watch, but as with all of our games, we strongly ask players to play responsibly.
So far, around 11 million tickets have won prizes during this jackpot run. The last time someone hit a Mega Millions jackpot in November was in 2016.
Tickets for Friday’s drawing must be purchased by 9:59 p.m., and as always, you are reminded to play responsibly.
