Cleveland Akron, OH, August 14, 2026 —
The Mega Millions lottery jackpot has now swelled to an estimated $90 million ahead of Friday’s drawing.
The current jackpot amount follows a substantial $800 million prize that was won by a ticket holder on July 28.
Winning numbers for the upcoming drawing are scheduled to be announced on Friday.
Lottery officials have not provided further details regarding the circumstances of the previous large prize win or any specific odds for the current jackpot.
Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery game played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are typically held on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The accumulation of jackpots occurs when no ticket matches all six numbers drawn, leading to the prize money rolling over to the next drawing.
