Friday night's grand prize was an estimated $940 million, Mega Millions said.
Mega Millions normally takes hours before announcing whether there has been a grand prize winner.
More than two months have passed since anyone matched all six numbers and won the jackpot, allowing the prize to roll over week after week. The prize is now the sixth-largest in U.S. history and will grow even bigger if there isn't a winner ahead of the next drawing Tuesday night. The full $940 million jackpot would be for winners who choose an annuity paid annually over 29 years. Grand prize winners usually take the cash option, which for Friday night's drawing would be an estimated $486 million.No winning tickets were sold for Tuesday night's $785 million Mega Millions jackpot. Tuesday's winning numbers were 25, 29, 33, 41 and 44, and Mega Ball 18. July 29, in Illinois — a $1.
The $940 million is what a winner who takes the annuity option would get. That's paid out in 29 annual installments. But winners almost always choose the cash option, which for Friday's drawing will be at least an estimated $483.5 million.And jackpots are split when more than one winning ticket is sold.
