1-in-302.6 million. Those are the extremely poor odds a ticket buyer has to overcome to win the Mega Millions jackpot. This is even worse than the Powerball jackpot’s already astronomical odds of 1-in-292.2 million.

There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Friday's drawing to $579 million.

The drawing for the 10th largest jackpot in Mega Millions history happens on Friday. The jackpot is an estimated $579 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in Tuesday’s drawing. If taken as a cash payout, it would be nearly $277 million. The largest Mega Millions jackpot was $1.6 billion won last year in Florida.
