Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays.
The latest Mega Millions drawing offers a tidy little jackpot for someone with a ticket and a whole lot of luck.
Here are the winning numbers in Friday’s drawing:
05-14-15-62-66; Mega Ball: 03; Megaplier: 3X
The estimated jackpot for the drawing is $75 million. The cash option is about $46.6 million. If no one wins, the Mega Millions jackpot will get bigger for the next drawing.
The top payout was reset March 12 when someone in Missouri won a $50 million jackpot.
According to the game's official website, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.
Players pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers -- five different numbers from 1 to 70 and one number from 1 to 25 -- or select Easy Pick. A player wins the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing.
Jackpot winners choose whether to receive 30 annual payments, each five percent higher than the last, or a lump-sum payment.
Mega Millions drawings are Tuesdays and Fridays and are offered in 44 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $2 each.
