CA MEGA Millions Jackpot at $127 Million for Tonight’s Draw

Tonight marks another chance for California Lottery players to take a shot at winning a life-altering jackpot. No one matched all six numbers in Friday night’s MEGA Millions draw, which means tonight’s jackpot is up to an impressive $127 million.

This is the largest MEGA Millions jackpot yet in 2012, and while no one matched all six numbers in Friday’s draw, two lucky Southern California Lottery players did match five of six to each win prizes worth $410,147.









The estimated cash option for tonight’s draw is $93.1 million. The retailer that sells the jackpot-winning ticket will receive a bonus of $635,000. For reference, the largest MEGA Millions jackpot ever won was $390 million in March 2007, with a cash option of $233 million.

MEGA Millions is a multistate game, played in California and 43 other jurisdictions (41 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Players pick five numbers from 1 to 56 plus a Mega number from 1 to 46. Draw times are Tuesdays and Fridays at 8:00 p.m. PST. Tickets are $1 and can be purchased from any of the more than 21,000 California Lottery retailers. Please visit the California Lottery’s MEGA Millions site for more information.
