The elusive Mega Millions jackpot has evaded players again as the prize money has increased to $800 million.

According to the lottery website, no winners were announced following the Friday night drawing that concluded with numbers 6, 23, 41, 59, and 63, plus the gold Mega Ball 25.

This current jackpot is set to reach $1 billion if no winner is announced during Tuesday night’s drawing.

According to the website, there have been six occasions where the jackpot had reached $1 billion.

While the grand prize went unclaimed, the Mega Millions announced several lesser prizes that had been won in Ohio, Texas, Florida, Illinois, California and New Hampshire.

In Ohio, $2 million was won through the optional Megaplier, while the remaining five states each had individual $1 million winners.
