Tuesday’s Georgia Lottery Mega Millions jackpot will bolt to $356 million after no one chose the winning numbers Friday.

The new jackpot will be closing in on the all-time record Mega Millions jackpot of $390 million.

The jackpot Friday night was $290 million. The winning numbers were 06-17-19-20-21, Mega Ball: 20.

Tickets are $1 per play. Players can multiply prizes with the Megaplier option for an additional $1 per play.

The Mega Millions top prize has been steadily climbing since a College Park woman won a $72 million jackpot in late January.

The biggest Georgia Lottery Mega Millions jackpot, worth $390 million, was won on March 6, 2007. There were two winners -- one in Georgia and one in New Jersey.
