The Mega Millions jackpot just keeps growing.

The next drawing is Friday and the jackpot is estimated at $415 million. The pot has been growing for 32 consecutive drawings without a top prize winner, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery.

The cash option on the prize is about $286 million.

The Mega Millions game hasn’t had a winner since March 8. The $415 prize offered Friday is the game’s highest since a $636 million jackpot was offered in 2013. The highest-ever Mega Millions jackpot was $656 million, won in 2012.

If you can’t wait until Friday for your chance at millions, the Powerball game Wednesday night will pay $222 million. The cash option on that game is about $151 million.
