With no big winner in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing, the game’s jackpot will jump to at least $965 million for Friday’s game.

The pot was $900 million for Tuesday’s drawing.

It marks the eighth largest jackpot since the Mega Millions game began in 2002. The highest jackpot winner this year came on June 27, when a Virginia ticket holder won a $348 million jackpot.

Here are the winning numbers from Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing: 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and the Megaball was 1.

Mega Millions tickets have a built-in multiplier that increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or 10 times.

Mega Millions/Megaplier drawings are held at 11 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday. You can view past Mega Millions drawings at the Official Mega Millions site.

All non-jackpot wins can increase based on the multiplier amount ranging from 2X to 10X times the listed prize amount. The overall odds of winning a prize is 1 in 23.07.

Jackpot: Match all five balls and the Megaball: 1 in 290,472,336

$1 million: Match all five balls without Megaball: 1 in 12,629,232

$10,000: Match four balls and the Megaball: 1 in 893,761

$500: Match four balls: 1 in 38,859

$200: Match three balls and the Megaball: 1 in 13,965

$10: Match three balls without Megaball: 1 in 607

$10: Match two balls and the Megaball: 1 in 665

$7: Match one ball and the Megaball: 1 in 86

$5: Match the Megaball: 1 in 35

The multiplier is automatically applied to every wager. The multipliers come in 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10, so that means if a player matches all five white balls in the Mega Millions, they could win up to $10 million.

Mega Millions tickets are sold in 45 states, including Pennsylvania.
