Winning numbers and the gold Mega ball 8 were drawn in the Mega Millions drawing. At the time, the jackpot was estimated to be worth $420 million, but it managed to hold out for another draw. $194.3 million was the cash option for the grand prize.
A player would be given the choice to receive a lump sum payment or an annuity payment of the entire $453 million jackpot if they were to win the grand prize on Friday. The jackpot's cash option is estimated at $209.6 million because lottery players don't really choose the former option.
