The Mega Millions lottery has now reached $475 million for the Tuesday, May 18 drawing. Here's what time the drawing tonight will take place and how to watch the drawing live on television.


Mega Millions Drawing Time

The Mega Millions drawing is every Tuesday and Friday night at 11 p.m. Eastern. In other times zones, this is 10 p.m. Central, 9 p.m. Mountain, and 8 p.m. Pacific. Note that some locations broadcast the drawing a little later than it actually happens, such as the Texas Lottery's online webcast broadcasting drawings at 10:12 p.m. Central.

If you prefer watching online rather than on TV, you can also keep an eye on the Mega Millions live stream here.
