Despite your wishes and planning, the Mega Millions jackpot went winnerless again Tuesday night, bumping the total prize for Friday’s drawing to an estimated $720 million.

The Mega Millions winning six numbers on Tuesday night were 19, 22, 31, 37, and 54, with a mega ball of 18.

The prize fund continues to grow as it has gone winnerless since April, and if you are lucky enough to match all six numbers on Friday, you could win a lump sum of $369.6 million before taxes.

The Mega Millions isn’t the only lottery currently soaring, as the Powerball jackpot is currently the third-largest in game history, sitting at an estimated $1 billion for Wednesday night’s drawing.

Drawings for the next chance at becoming an instant millionaire through the Powerball are Wednesday at 10:59 p.m. EST.
