“The last Mega Millions jackpot won on a Friday the 13th was on January 13, 2023, when a giant $1.348 billion prize was won in Maine. That is still the third-largest jackpot in the game’s history,” the lottery said in a press release .

The next draw for the Mega Millions jackpot is set for Friday, with the fifth-biggest lottery prize of the year at stake.

A man who claimed half of a $394 million Mega Millions jackpot earlier this year has sued the lottery after he said he bought both winning tickets.
