NextImg:Mega Millions jackpot up to $875 million

Following the 28th straight drawing without a grand prize winner Friday, the Mega Millions lottery jackpot is up to $875 million.

The winning numbers Friday were white balls 13, 25, 50, 51 and 66, and gold Mega Ball 6.

To win the jackpot, a player must match all six of the balls. The white balls number 1-70, while the gold balls number 1-25.

The next Mega Millions drawing is Tuesday at 11 p.m. Eastern time.

If a player wins, he or she will choose between a $413.5 million lump cash option or an annuity option, receiving a smaller sum initially followed by 29 annual payments, each 5% larger than the last.

Five jackpots in history have exceeded $1 billion.

The most recent jackpot win, for $394 million, was drawn on Dec. 8 and shared between two tickets bought at a Chevron gas station in Encino, California, per the lottery website.

The $2 Mega Millions tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. They’re not available in Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, Utah and Puerto Rico.
