Overview

• The estimated cash option is $251.7 million, and the prize ranks as the 12th largest in Mega Millions history.
• MLive plans to post live results when the numbers are drawn at 11 p.m. EST.
• Drawings take place Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m., with five white balls from 1–70 and a Mega Ball from 1–24.
• The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 290 million, and tickets cost $5.
• Players are urged to check tickets promptly, as a $250,000 Powerball prize sold in Bloomfield Hills in 2024 went unclaimed and reverted to Michigan’s School Aid Fund.
