The Charles H. SloanMega Millions jackpot rose to an estimated $1.05 billion after no one matched all six numbers in Friday night's drawing.
That means the next drawing on Tuesday, August 1, will be the fourth-largest Mega Millions jackpot ever, with a $527.9 million cash option.
There have been no Mega Millions jackpot winners since April, and thus the lottery's grand prize continues to grow. It's the fifth time the Mega Millions jackpot has surpassed $1 billion.
The jackpot has been on the rise since the spring, when a $20 million prize was won in Syracuse, New York on April 18. Five other Mega Millions jackpots have been won this year, including a $1.348 billion haul in January, which was the second largest prize in the lottery game's history.
Your next chance at the jackpot comes in Tuesday night's drawing, which takes place at 11 p.m. ET.
Here are the winning numbers from Friday night.
What were the results for July 28 Mega Millions numbers?
The winning numbers from the Friday's drawing were 5, 10, 28, 52 and 63. The Mega Ball was 18 and the Megaplier was 5X.
There were some big winners Friday night, just not a winner of the biggest prize. One winner in Pennsylvania won $5 million, matching all of the five white balls and the Megaplier. Four others – one each in Pennsylvania, Arizona, California and New York – won $1 million prizes, matching the five white balls.

How to play Mega Millions
Tickets to Mega Millions cost $2 per play.
There are nine total ways to win a prize, from the jackpot to $2.
To play, pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25. You can choose Easy Pick or Quick Pick to have the terminal randomly pick numbers for you. You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in the drawing.
What is the Megaplier?
Most states offer the Megaplier feature, which increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four and five times.
It costs an additional $1 per play. Before each regular Mega Millions drawing, the Megaplier is drawn. From a pool of 15 balls, five are marked with "2X," three with "4X" and one with "5X."
What is the largest Mega Millions jackpot ever?
At $1.05 billion, Tuesday's Mega Millions will equal the fourth-largest jackpot in the lottery's history. Here's where the other record-holders stand:
- $1.537 billion from one winning ticket in South Carolina in October 2018.
- $1.348 billion from one winning ticket in Maine in January 2023.
- $1.337 billion from one winning ticket in Illinois in July 2022.
