COLUMBIA, SC (January 13, 2021) – With no winner in last night’s drawing, the Mega Millions® jackpot has catapulted to $750 million for Friday. This is the second largest jackpot in Mega Millions® history.

Both tickets matched four white ball numbers and the gold Megaball® on Tuesday, January 12 (12 - 14 - 26 - 28 - 33 and MB: 9) at odds of 1 in 931,001. The $20,000 winner spend the extra $1 for Megaplier® to double the prize won.

The Mega Millions® drawing produced nearly 50,000 prize winners in South Carolina. Odds of winning Friday’s Mega Millions® jackpot are 1 in 303 million.
