FOX Business’ Madison Alworth explains how the Federal Reserve influences the Mega Millions jackpot on ‘Cavuto: Coast to Coast.’
The Mega Millions’ lottery jackpot is now $1.05 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night.
If there is a grand-prize winner in Tuesdays’s drawing, that player can choose to receive the $1.05 billion jackpot in installments or a lump-sum cash payment of $527.9 million, Mega Millions said
The winning numbers drawn Friday night were 52, 28, 5, 63, and 10 with a Mega ball of 18. The Megaplier was 5X.

The jackpot is now the fourth-largest Mega Millions prize to date.
The $1.05 billion prize follows a $1.08 billion Powerball prize won by a player July 19 in Los Angeles. California lottery officials haven’t announced a winner for that jackpot, the sixth-largest in U.S. history.
The largest U.S. jackpot was a $2.04 billion Powerball prize won in November 2022.

The last time a massive Mega Millions jackpot was claimed was on April 14, when a winning ticket in New York matched all six numbers to win the grand prize of $483 million or a lump-sum prize of $256.9 million.
The jackpot was won again a few days later on April 18 for $20 million and has continued to rise since then.
