WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — Prepare your tickets! Over half a billion dollars are up for grabs.

The Mega Millions jackpot has increased to an estimated $579 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in the latest drawing.

The winning numbers on Tuesday night were: 52, 60, 61, 66 and 67, plus the golden Mega Ball 23. After no win, the jackpot increased again on Friday, becoming the tenth largest in Mega Millions history.

Whoever wins Friday night’s jackpot drawing can also opt for a cash option worth $276.6 million.

This year was notable for Mega Millions, according to lottery officials, because all three jackpots won in 2024 were among the top ten in the game’s history. The possibility of any jackpot reaching top ten status this year is unprecedented.

This year, only three jackpots have been won through November, a stark contrast to 2023 when 10 jackpots were claimed. Mega Millions remains the only lottery game to have produced six jackpots exceeding $1 billion. The current record is a profit of $1.602 billion, won in Florida last August.
