MID-MICHIGAN (WJRT) – The Mega Millions jackpot has surged to nearly $1 billion for Friday’s drawing.
It marks the 40th Mega Millions drawing since the last jackpot win in Virginia on June 27. The total jackpot is estimated at $980 million with a cash option of $452.2 million, according to the Michigan Lottery.
If a player wins, it will be the largest Mega Millions jackpot of 2025 and the eighth largest in the game’s history. Since the current jackpot run started on July 1, Michigan players have won more than $10 million in prizes.
The last time the Mega Millions jackpot was won in Michigan was in January 2021, when an Oakland County lottery club claimed a $1.05 billion prize, the largest ever in the state.
Mega Millions tickets can be purchased for $5 apiece at more than 10,000 Michigan Lottery retailers across the state or on the lottery’s website until 10:45 p.m. Friday.
