The Powerball jackpot has rolled to an estimated $565 million with a cash value of $258.8 million.

The Mega Millions® jackpot for Friday, April 5, is an estimated $67 million, with an estimated cash value of $31 million.

The Second Chance promotional drawing included eight eligible scratch-off games.

Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot is the third largest jackpot in the game’s history and the fifth largest in U.S. lottery history.

Beginning Sunday, Sept. 10, Mississippi Match 5 moves to daily drawings, joining the Cash 3, Cash 4 and Cash Pop evening drawings.

If a player wins Friday’s jackpot, it will be the second-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.

The drawing tonight will be the 25th roll in the current jackpot run.

“Unprecedented sales are the reason we decided to increase the estimated jackpot,” said Mississippi Lottery President Jeff Hewitt.
