The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to $944 million with no winner in Friday's drawing.

The last jackpot win was on Sept. 10. Tuesday's drawing has now ballooned from $862 million to $944 million. A winner then could choose to receive the money in one lump sum of $429.4 million or annuitized payments.

Friday's winning numbers were: 2, 20, 51, 56, 67 and Mega Ball 19.

According to CNN, December has been a lucky month for Mega Millions players.

"We tend to see sales go up during the holidays," Joshua Johnston, the lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium, told the news outlet.

"There's just really not a product on the market for two bucks that will give you an opportunity throughout the course of a few days to just kind of imagine and dream what it would be like to win that sum of money," he said. "And that's just so much fun to think about, especially around the holidays, when there's already a sense of magic in the air."
