We last reported that this week’s Mega Millions Jackpot hit a record $900 million jackpot, but it’s not up to $970 million for tonight’s drawing. Again, the second highest jackpot in US history. The previous record jackpot was $656 million is 2012.

It had increased early Wednesday to $868 million and officials raised the jackpot to $900 million later in the day. They say the estimated cash value for Friday’s jackpot is $548.6 million.

If the winner chooses the annuity option, the jackpot would be paid out over 29 years. The cash option is usually favored by the winners. (CBS)
