COLUMBIA -- The Mega Millions® jackpot has rolled to an estimated $304 million for Friday night's drawing, according to the South Carolina Education Lottery.

"Ticket sales continue to be brisk in South Carolina," said the lottery's executive director, Paula Harper Bethea. "Since the Mega Millions jackpot run started, the Lottery has had two winning tickets worth $250,000, one sold in Goose Creek and one in Beech Island."

If you want a chance at Friday's drawing, you have to buy your ticket by 10 p.m. Friday.

The Powerball jackpot isn't quite as high, but tonight's drawing could win you $101 million.

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 175,711,536, slightly better than the 1 in 195,249,054 odds of winning the jackpot with Powerball®.
