For only the fifth time in history, the Mega Millions jackpot has topped $1 billion.

After no tickets matched all six numbers drawn Friday night – white balls 5, 10, 28, 52 and 63, plus the gold Mega Ball 18 – the estimated jackpot grew to $1.05 billion or a cash payout of $527.9 million cash. The next drawing is set for Tuesday, Aug. 1.

The prize equals the fourth-largest Mega Millions jackpot to date.

The jackpot has been rolling since it was last won in New York on April 18, and Tuesday’s drawing will be the 30th in this current run. 2023 started out with six jackpot winners in less than four months – a number far more typical of a full year, lottery officials said. The first was a big one – $1.348 billion won in Maine on Jan. 13, the second-largest prize awarded in Mega Millions history. That was followed by three quick wins. The very next drawing, on Jan. 17, produced a $20 million win in New York. Two drawings later, $33 million was won in Massachusetts on Jan. 24, and just two drawings after that, Massachusetts repeated with another jackpot win, this time at $31 million. Then came two more wins in New York, at $483 million on April 14 followed by $20 million on April 18. That was the first time in Mega Millions history that two jackpots have been won in the same state in consecutive drawings.

Tickets are $2 each but aren’t sold in Alabama. Drawings are conducted at 11 p.m. ET (10 p.m. CT) on Tuesdays and Fridays in Atlanta.
