The Mega Millions jackpot rose to an estimated $681 million after no tickets matched the winning numbers during Friday night’s drawing.
The winning numbers drawn on Friday were 10, 17, 20, 24 and 54 with a Mega ball of 8. The Megaplier was 4X.
Nobody won the estimated $627 million jackpot Friday night, but one player in Florida matched all five white balls to win $1 million and another player in Wisconsin matched all five white balls and had the optional Megaplier to win $4 million.
