The Mega Millions jackpot has bumped back up to $20 million.

If you are planning to snap up a ticket and try your luck at making yourself into a millionaire just in time for the weekend, then you might want to tune in at 11 p.m. ET, which is when the draw for the big prize is set to take place at the studios of WSB-TV, Atlanta's ABC affiliate.

If you take home the jackpot and want to pocket every last penny, the total will be paid out to you in annual installments over a 29-year period. Otherwise, you also have the option of an immediate lump sum, which, however, means that you will forfeit a bit to taxes and be stuck with "only" $12 million.

The lottery's winning numbers from the last drawing on Nov. 17 were 12, 14, 18, 24 and 61; the Mega Ball number was 10; and the Megaplier number was 3, according to the game's official website. The estimated jackpot was a "meagre" $15 million, but no one managed to match the winning Mega Millions numbers on that day.

Tuesday's drawing did, however, produce, a new millionaire, as one participant matched five numbers to take home $1 million, the multistate lottery reported. Depending on the Megaplier option used in some states, which allows players to increase non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times, that win could have been as high as $3 million.

Mega Millions drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday, and the draw entry closes at 10:45 p.m. ET. Tickets for the game are sold in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands -- a total of 45 jurisdictions. The odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 15, but your chances of hitting the jackpot are only about 1 in 259 million.
