LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Since nobody won the $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot on Christmas Eve, Michiganders will have a chance to win big on Friday night.

The jackpot is expanding to $1.2 billion for Friday night’s drawing. It’s the largest of 2024 and the 5th largest Mega Millions jackpot of all time.

In addition, people may have gifted tickets for Christmas or will send a belated Mega Millions ticket to friends and family before the drawing. “What a gift that would turn out to be if you ended up with a ticket worth a $1.15 billion jackpot,” said Joshua Johnston in a news release. He’s the lead director for the Mega Millions Consortium.

If nobody wins Friday’s drawing and the New Year’s Eve drawing, that means there will have only been three jackpot winners in 2024.
