Tickets are available for purchase at Michigan Lottery retailers and online at MichiganLottery.com until 9:45 p.m. for the drawing at 10:59 p.m.
Michiganders specifically are testing their luck. Michigan Lottery reports over 7.5 million tickets sold for tonight’s drawing.
Tonight’s drawing will be the 40th drawing since the jackpot was last won in August.
If a Michigan player wins the jackpot, it would be the largest jackpot ever won in the state. In January 2021, an Oakland County lottery club won a $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot.
