If you want a shot at the $510 million Mega Millions jacket that will be drawn Friday night, 9&10 News and the Michigan Lottery are reminding people that you can get tickets online.

If road conditions are bad near you, there’s no need to head out just for a lottery ticket. Instead, head to MichiganLottery.com, where you can create an account and purchase Mega Millions and other lottery tickets.

This is the second largest Mega Millions jackpot of the year. In July, one ticket purchased in Illinois matched all the numbers to win a $1.3 billion jackpot.

The Mega Millions jackpot was last won in Michigan in January 2021, when an Oakland County lottery club won $1.05 billion. That jackpot was the largest ever won in Michigan and the fifth largest in U.S. lottery history.
