The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday, Nov. 7, stands at a staggering $843 million, with a cash option of $391.7 million. Lottery fans across the country are hoping to strike it rich in tonight’s drawing.
When Are the Winning Numbers Drawn?
The winning numbers for Friday, Nov. 7, will be announced around 11 p.m. ET. Results will be available shortly after the live drawing.
For reference, the previous drawing on Tuesday, Nov. 4, had the numbers 11, 14, 17, 50, 57, and the Mega Ball was 6. No ticket matched all six numbers, so the jackpot rolled over once again.
How Many Numbers Do You Need to Win?
Players only need to match one number—the Mega Ball—to win $2. However, matching two numbers alone does not guarantee a payout unless one is the Mega Ball.
A ticket matching one of the five white balls and the Mega Ball is worth $4. For full payout details, players can check the official Mega Millions prize chart.
When Are Mega Millions Drawings Held?
Drawings take place twice a week—every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET. Fans can watch live on YouTube or check results online shortly after the draw.
How Much Does a Ticket Cost?
A standard Mega Millions ticket costs $5, which includes automatic non-jackpot multipliers. For an additional $1, players can add the Megaplier option to increase non-jackpot winnings.
