The Mega Millions jackpot is nearing $1 billion after the longest-ever run without a six-number win continued in the latest draw, officials said Wednesday.
The estimated jackpot for the next drawing on Friday now stands at $965 million after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn overnight Tuesday.
The numbers were 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and gold Mega Ball 1.

The prize now has a cash value of $445.3 million, according to lottery officials.
There were four Mega Millions jackpot wins earlier this year, but the next drawing will be the 40th since the last win back on June 27 — a game record.
There have only been seven jackpots that have eclipsed $1 billion in the history of the game.
