The Mega Millions jackpot has surpassed $400 million for the first time in almost three months.
Friday’s jackpot is worth an estimated $414 million, according to Megamillions.com.
The cash value is $224.2 million.
The numbers drawn Friday evening were 12, 32, 49, 51, 66, plus the gold Mega Ball 21. The Megaplier was 2X.

The jackpot rolled over after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Tuesday night.
Those numbers were 1, 37, 45, 62 and 64, plus the gold Mega Ball 4. The Megaplier was 3X.
While nobody won the jackpot or even the second-place prize, 16 winning tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the game’s third-tier prize.

Four tickets are worth $30,000 each because they include the optional Megaplier.

On January 13, a $1.348 billion prize was won in Maine, the game’s second-highest prize ever.
