UPDATE [11 p.m.]: Friday night's winning Mega Millions numbers were 41, 32, 27, 69 and 28 with the MegaBall being 12.
ORIGINAL STORY: Growing since July 27 and rolling over 20 times, the Mega Millions jackpot has been bumped up to $420 million, officials said.
Anyone that gets lucky and wins Friday night’s Mega Millions jackpot can redeem their winnings in two ways, Georgia Lottery spokeswoman Nia Roberts said. The $420 million prize can be paid out in one immediate payment followed by 29 annual graduated payments, or it can be cashed out immediately for about $237 million.
You can watch the drawing at 11 p.m. Friday, right before the Channel 2 Action News Nightbeat.
Saturday’s Powerball jackpot has grown to $253 million, rolling over 16 times since Aug. 15, Roberts said. Combined, the jackpots are worth $673 million.
Like Mega Millions, the Powerball jackpot can be paid out either in 30 graduated payments over 29 years or immediately cashed out for $148 million.
It costs $2 to purchase a ticket for either lottery jackpot.
