If you are the single ticket holder of the following numbers 22, 24, 31, 52, 54 with the 4 Mega ball, you are rich beyond imagination, the winner of Friday night's $312 million Mega Millions jackpot.
The top prize in the multi-state game has been growing twice a week for nearly two months, since players in Indiana and Michigan split a $45 million jackpot on Feb. 1.
Brisk ticket sales prompted lottery officials to bump the top prize up from an earlier-announced $304 million.
If a single player matches all six numbers in tonight's drawing and chooses the cash option, that player would receive an estimated $198 million before taxes. If that player chooses to be paid over time, he or she would get approximately $12 million a year for 26 years.
If all your numbers don't line up in tonight's drawing, there's still Saturday night's Powerball game, which carries a current jackpot of $125 million.
And just in case you're wondering, the odds of winning the top Mega Millions prize are one in 175 million, slightly better than the one in 195 million odds of winning Saturday's Powerball jackpot.
