There has been no winner declared after numbers were drawn for Friday night’s Mega Millions jackpot drawing, with the grand prize ballooning after 28 consecutive drawings without a winner to an estimated $875 million for the next drawing on Tuesday.

The winning numbers drawn for Friday’s jackpot were: 13, 25, 50, 51, 66 and gold Mega Ball 6.

Friday night’s prize had a cash value of $385.1 million, offered as a one-time lump-sum payment, or the winnings can be paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. These numbers will now increase after no winner was declared on Friday.

The grand prize would be the fifth-largest jackpot in the game’s history behind four billion-dollar winners.

The last jackpot was won on Dec. 8.
