No, you didn't win the $368M Mega Millions jackpot

No one will take home Friday's $368 million jackpot, but one player in Texas will wake up a millionaire.

WASHINGTON — Mega Millions' jackpot will keep growing after nobody correctly matched all six numbers for Friday's drawing.

No one will take home Friday's $368 million jackpot, but one player in Texas will wake up a millionaire after matching the first five numbers. The jackpot for the next drawing on Tuesday rises to an estimated $400 million.

Mega Millions hasn't seen a grand prize winner since April 18, when a 71-year-old man from New York won the state's largest Mega Millions jackpot ever. Johnnie Taylor of Howard Beach in Queens, New York, won $476 million but opted for the cash option — a lump sum of more than $157 million after taxes.

Winners almost always take the cash option, but they do have a choice to instead get the full amount in regular payments over 29 years. 

Mega Millions winning numbers for June 30, 2023: 

The winning numbers were 13-22-47-51-55, Mega Ball 9 and Megaplier 3.
