Someone’s going to get rich.

Maybe Friday, maybe not. But definitely soon. Someone is going to cash in on the Mega Millions jackpot, now at $1.02 billion.

That’s billion, with a “b.”

Yes, we’ve all seen the stories about the statistical chances of winning the lottery being somewhere around those of being struck by lightning on a golf course while being bitten by a shark. That’s not it exactly, but something like that. But someone has to win.

So how do you find out if it's you?

First, you need to buy a ticket. Sales end at 6:59 p.m. Arizona time on Friday, July 29. Then cross your fingers and rub a rabbit’s foot or however else you prepare yourself for what likely will be disappointment, but you never know.

Did you win? Here are the numbers for the Mega Millions drawing for July 29, 2022

When is the Mega Millions drawing in Arizona?

The Mega Millions drawing is at 8 p.m. Friday Arizona time. You can watch live on the Mega Millions YouTube channel. Lottery drawings used to be broadcast live on local TV in Arizona, but that stopped when the lottery switched to a random number generator, according to the Arizona State Lottery office.

If you miss the live drawing, you can find the winning numbers on the Mega Millions website until the next drawing at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Good luck, and if you win, remember the little people.
