Mega Millions currently has a jackpot prize of $820 million, with the next drawing scheduled for Tuesday night.

Incredibly, the jackpot went up $100 million after last Friday’s drawing went without a winner.

The winning numbers on Friday, July 21 were 29, 40, 47, 50, and 57, with the Mega Ball being 25 and the Megaplier being 2.

Drawings for Mega Millions take place every Tuesday and Friday at 10:59 p.m. ET. You must purchase your ticket(s) prior to the cut-off time at 9:59 p.m. ET on those days.

The results are televised on your local Pennsylvania TV news station. See below:

Playing Mega Millions requires you to select five numbers from 1 to 70 and one number (your Mega Ball selection) from 1 to 25. Or, you can choose to have the terminal to randomly select your numbers via Quick Pick.

You may also play the Megaplier option for an additional $1. The Megaplier provides the opportunity to increase your winnings for all prize levels except the jackpot. A separate number from 2 to 5 will be drawn before the main drawing, and if played, the Megaplier will multiply your prize by the number drawn.

Mega Millions tickets can be purchased at a PA Lottery retailer or on the PA Lottery website.

You must be at least 18 years of age and physically located in Pennsylvania to play games online and win prizes.
