It's that time again. Mega Millions players are checking their tickets following Friday night's drawing.

The jackpot climbed to an estimated $203 million, with a cash option of $104.6 million, after no big winner Tuesday.

Winners have the option to receive the cash option or the annuity option, which distributes the prize over 29 annual payments.

Most lottery winners choose the one-time, lump-sum cash payment, which the final amount depends on state and federal taxes.

The chances of winning the jackpot are about one in 302 million. 

Here's what you need to know.

The winning numbers for Friday night's drawing were 3, 16, 19, 36, 60 and Mega Ball: 25. 

The Megaplier was 2X.

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are extremely slim.

To play Mega Millions, you must pick six numbers - or choose to have the lottery machine generate a random "Easy Pick" or "Quick Pick" for you:

Your ticket has to match all six of the winning numbers from the drawing to win the jackpot. You can also win smaller prizes depending on how many balls the numbers match.

It cost $2 a ticket to play Mega Millions. You can add the Megaplier for $1, which will increase the amount of your potential prize up to five times the original prize (except for the jackpot).

Mega Millions can be played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
