Mega Millions Jackpot Soars to $900 Million — Here’s What to Know

Mega Millions Jackpot Nears the Billion-Dollar Mark

The Mega Millions jackpot just skyrocketed to a jaw-dropping $900 million for the Tuesday, Nov. 11 drawing after no one hit the winning combo on Friday night. That’s the eighth-largest jackpot since the game launched in 2002 — and it’s still climbing.

Recent Mega Millions Highlights

• June 27: A lucky ticket in Virginia snagged $348 million.

• April 18: An Ohio player took home $112 million.

• March 25: Illinois saw a $344 million winner.

• Jan. 17: Another Illinois ticket scored $113 million.

If someone matches all six numbers in the next drawing, they can choose between the full jackpot or a one-time cash payout of $415.3 million.

Winning Numbers — Nov. 11, 2025

10, 13, 40, 42, 46, and Mega Ball 1

Unfortunately, no one hit the jackpot on Tuesday. The next Mega Millions draw on Nov. 14 will now roll up to an estimated $965 million.

Quick Guide: How to Play

Here’s the fun part — playing is easy:

• Grab a ticket from a gas station, grocery store, or online (in select states).

• Pick five white balls (1–70) and one gold Mega Ball (1–24).

• Don’t feel like choosing? Ask for a Quick Pick or Easy Pick.

• You can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2X to 10X with the built-in Megaplier.

Drawings happen every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET.

The Odds (and the Dream)

Winning big isn’t easy, but hey — someone’s gotta do it:

• Jackpot (5 + Mega Ball): 1 in 302,575,350

• $1 Million (5 only): 1 in 12,607,306

• $10,000 (4 + Mega Ball): 1 in 931,001

• $500 (4 only): 1 in 38,792

• $200 (3 + Mega Ball): 1 in 14,547

• $10 (3 only): 1 in 606

• $5 (Mega Ball only): 1 in 37

The Megaplier doesn’t affect the jackpot, but it can boost smaller prizes — even turning a $1 million win into $10 million.

Where You Can (and Can’t) Play

Mega Millions tickets are available in 45 states, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Sorry, Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah — no tickets for you.
