The Mega Millions jackpot is teetering on reaching $600 million, while the one-time cash option rises to $265.4 million.
The top prize rose by $38 million to an estimated $563 million after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Friday night.
Friday’s winning Mega Millions numbers were 4, 6, 40, 41 and 60, and the Mega Ball was 11.
Players’ next chance to win the Mega Millions jackpot is Tuesday.
Mega Millions said it would be “the eighth largest jackpot in the game’s nearly 22-year history” if anyone were the lucky winner. The largest jackpot ever, $1.602 billion, was won in 2023.

In December, two tickets in California shared a $394 million windfall after winning the top prize.
The nearly $600 million increase came three days after the lottery announced that the jackpot had surpassed half a billion dollars for the first time this year. Mega Millions said this point had been exceeded on two occasions in the past twelve months.
Two of these crossed the $1 billion mark last year, with one reaching $1.348 billion in January and another reaching $1.602 billion in August.
Players have a 1 in 302,575,350 chance of winning a Mega Millions jackpot.
Earlier this month, someone failed to claim winnings from a $36 million Mega Millions jackpot within the 180-day deadline.
The ticket, purchased at a Publix supermarket in Jacksonville, Florida, expired on February 11 and no one came forward to collect the eight-figure grand prize.
