With no Mega Millions jackpot winner called Friday, the next estimated jackpot is up to $785 million, with a cash option of $395 million.

Friday’s numbers were 1, 3, 6, 44, 51 and the Mega Ball was 7. A new drawing will be held Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET. This would be the fourth largest jackpot in history, according to CNN.

This July, a Mega Millions player in Illinois won $1.337 billion and in 2018 the largest ever jackpot, $1.537 was won. Winners can choose the cash option or annuity payments over 29 years.

Overall chances of winning a prize are 1 in 24, said Mega Millions. Though there was no jackpot winner Friday, one player in Ohio matched five of the six numbers and won a $1 million prize.

Millions of others won prizes ranging from $2 to $30,000.
