No Mega Millions Winner; Friday's Jackpot Tops $1 Billion

LONG ISLAND, NY — Someone from Long Island could win the next Mega Millions, now worth more than $1 billion.

The multi-state lottery has gone 29 times without a winner, causing the jackpot to roll over into historic territory.

At $1.02 billion, Friday night's drawing would be the 4th largest Mega Millions payout. That amount is for players who chose the annuity option for 30 years.

For the cash pay-out, it's "only" $602.5 million.

All amounts from the New York State Lottery are estimated and could rise even higher based on ticket sales.

Mega Millions is played in most states, giving odds of winning the grand prize at 1 in 302.5 million.
