Overview
- Tuesday's winning numbers were 02-18-27-34-59 with Mega Ball 18.
- No ticket matched all six numbers, raising the next drawing's estimated jackpot to about $680 million with a $318.2 million cash option.
- At this size, the prize would rank at least ninth-largest in Mega Millions history, up from 10th at the earlier $650 million estimate.
- The April overhaul set tickets at $5, reduced Mega Ball choices to 24, and replaced the Megaplier with a built-in random 2x–10x multiplier for non-jackpot prizes.
- Officials report $344.4 million in non-jackpot payouts through early October, including $134 million to Mega Ball–only winners, with jackpot odds now about 1 in 290.4 million.
