All you need is six lucky numbers to change your life forever.
The jackpot in the Mega Millions soared Friday to a record-setting $1 billion, the largest Mega Millions prize ever, for the drawing tonight at 11 p.m. EDT.
It will be the second-largest jackpot for any game played in the United States, behind the Jan. 13, 2016, Powerball of $1,586,400,000 split three ways in California, Tennessee and Melbourne Beach, Florida.
The Mega Millions drawing will be 11 p.m. ET on Friday in Atlanta, Georgia at the WSB-TV studios. If you're not on the East Coast, that's 10 p.m. CT, 9 p.m. MT and 8 p.m. PT.
You have a few options if you want to watch for your numbers. The drawing will be broadcast live to different news affiliates, so check your local listings to see what channel to flip to Friday night. You can also check the Mega Millions website or download the app.
You can buy a Mega Millions ticket until 10:45 p.m. on drawing night in most states — plus D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands — that allow the Mega Millions game. In some states the cut off is earlier, so check with your local stores.
If you live in Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina or North Dakota, you can buy a Mega Millions ticket online if you have registered with the lotteries of those states, according to the Mega Millions website. If you live in New Hampshire, New York, or Virginia, you can purchase a subscription for Mega Millions online.
