The Mega Millions jackpot surged to an estimated $680 million ahead of Friday night's drawing, making it the ninth-largest prize in the game's history.

The pot grew after no ticket matched all six numbers from Tuesday night's drawing.

The white balls were 2, 18, 27, 34 and 59. The gold Mega Ball was 18.

It now has an estimated cash value of $318.2 million, according to the lottery.

In the Oct. 21 drawing, there were nearly 437,000 tickets across all prize tiers for total winnings of about $12 million.

One ticket, sold in Illinois, matched all five white balls to win the second-tier prize, Mega Millions said.

The jackpot was most recently won on June 27, 2025, in Virginia .
