The second-largest Mega Millions could make someone an instant billionaire Friday night.

A jackpot of $1.35 billion or $724.6 million cash will be drawn at 11 p.m.


No one has won the Mega Millions jackpot since October 14, when a winner in California and Florida split a $502 million prize

"Some people are superstitious about Friday the 13th, but if you're feeling lucky it only takes one ticket to win a life-changing prize of this size," said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. "Imagine all of the good things you could do if you won, like help family or local communities. Along with those possibilities comes the fact of knowing that proceeds from ticket sales in Pennsylvania go to help seniors in the state, so it's a win-win."

In Pennsylvania, the lottery says that over 5,400 tickets a minute as of Friday afternoon totaling $11,900 a minute.

If no one wins the jackpot, it will climb to $1.62 billion for Tuesday's drawing, a lottery record.

The Mega Millions was last won in Pennsylvania on May 21, 2021.

While it wasn't the big jackpot, someone locally won $1 million in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing.
