LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A Michigan lottery player could kick off their holiday weekend in a lucrative way if they win Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot, which has grown to $542 million.
The cash option for the jackpot is $242 million.
If a player wins Friday’s jackpot, it would be the third time the jackpot has been won in 2026, and it also would mark the largest Mega Millions jackpot won this year. Friday’s drawing will be the 31st drawing since the jackpot was last won March 17 when one ticket purchased in Ohio won the $60 million jackpot.
The Mega Millions jackpot was last won in Michigan in January 2021 by an Oakland County lottery club. The club won a $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That jackpot was the largest ever won in Michigan.
Lottery retailers throughout the state are selling the $5.00 Mega Millions tickets until 10:45 p.m. Friday. Tickets also can be purchased online at MichiganLottery.com.
