The next Mega Millions drawing Tuesday will be worth $40 million.

A winning Mega Millions ticket was drawn Friday night for the $450 million jackpot.

But the $570 million Powerball jackpot is still up for grabs.

The Mega Millions odds are 1 in 302.6 million.

Never before have both lottery jackpots been above $400 million at the same time, said Polston, Kentucky Lottery's senior vice president of communications. The Mega Millions numbers Friday night were 28, 30, 39, 59, 70 and the Mega Ball was 10.

The jackpot was $450 million.

The current Powerball and Mega Million drawings each began in October.

Renowned TV chef Zubaida Tariq passed away late on Thursday night, leaving fans and followers shocked by her unexpected death. The personality belonged to an eminent household which also includes Fatima Surraiya Bajiya, Anwar Maqsood, and Zehra Nigah.

The winner's identity and where the winning ticket was sold have yet to be identified.

"People come from everywhere waiting up to an hour to purchase a ticket".

The jackpot victor can choose a cash option and receive $281 million.

Polston advises the lucky victor to sign the back of the ticket and take a little bit of time before claiming the prize.

"It literally only takes one ticket to win", Polston said.

And as noted in the release, only one jackpot in history was larger than the combined total of the two games - the record $1.56 billion Powerball prize that was split three ways in January 2016. The odds of winning both games is 1 in 88 quadrillion.

"When the jackpots reach these levels, everyone starts to daydream about what they would do if they won", Gordon Medenica, Mega Millions lead director, said in a statement.
