Mega millions drawing tonight time

Well, that'd be a nice way to bring in the new year.

It's been more than 100 days since someone won the Mega Millions jackpot, and we'll all get another chance Friday night, with the jackpot swelling to $1.15 billion ahead of the next drawing.

Mega Millions is a lottery game that costs $2 per play, where players pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and one gold Mega Ball number from 1 to 25.

If a player doesn't want to pick the numbers, they can do a Quick Pick where the machine will randomly pick their numbers.

To win the jackpot, a player must match all six numbers, including the Mega Ball.
