On Friday night 12 October 2018, Mega Millions will draw the winning numbers that will likely change forever the life of a Michigan Lottery player if they win the Mega Millions jackpot. The estimated Mega Millions jackpot is $548 million, with a cash option of about $309,200,000.

The chances of that actually happening are 1 in 292 million for each ticket. This estimated Mega Millions jackpot is the third-largest Mega Millions jackpot this year. The biggest Mega Millions jackpot won in 2018, so far, was the $543 million jackpot. One ticket purchased in California matched the five white balls and Mega ball to win on July 24.

The last Michigan player to win the Mega Millions jackpot was Kevin Blake, of Waterford. Blake won half of the game’s $42 million jackpot in October 2017. The other half went to Rhode Island.

Should a Michigan player win Friday’s $548 million jackpot, it is thought to go down as the largest Mega Millions prize won in the state. While that is in play, on April 22, 2005, a Port Huron couple, Ralph and Mary Stebbins, won $208 million. On Aug. 15, 2012, Donald Lawson, of Lapeer, won a $337 million Powerball jackpot. Lawson’s jackpot holds the record for the largest Lottery prize ever won in Michigan.

Mega Millions drawings take place each Tuesday and Friday evening. Each Mega Millions play is only $2. For an additional $1 per play, players have the opportunity to add a “Megaplier” that can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

Mega Millions tickets for tonight’s drawing may be purchased online at MichiganLottery.com and at the Lottery’s 11,000 retailers around the state until 10:45 p.m.
