Mega Millions jackpot surges to $425 million for tonight's drawing [View all]

Mega Millions could bestow its second-largest payout in jackpot history Friday after swelling to $425 million, lottery officials said.

Ticket sales for the jackpot have surged across the nation since Wednesday to generate a possible $60 million to $90 million in sales before winning numbers are announced at 8 p.m. PST, said Alex Traverso, a spokesman for the California Lottery.

Mega Millions is offered in 43 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The largest jackpot so far this year went to a family in Maryland who won $189 million in October.
