Mega Millions Jackpot Jumps to $843 Million as Record 38th Drawing Set for Friday

The rollover sets up the game's longest run without a jackpot since 2002.

Overview

  • Tuesday’s winning numbers were 11-14-17-50-57 with Mega Ball 6, and no ticket matched all six, pushing the prize to an estimated $843 million with a $391.7 million cash option.
  • The next drawing on Friday, Nov. 7, will be the 38th since the last jackpot on June 27, marking the longest streak without a winner in the game’s history.
  • At $843 million, the prize ranks among the largest Mega Millions jackpots to date and is the highest level since this year’s ticket price increase.
  • More than 606,000 tickets won over $12.2 million in non-jackpot prizes on Nov. 4, aided by the game’s built-in multiplier that boosts lower-tier payouts.
  • Any eventual winner must choose annuity payments or the lump sum, with federal withholding and likely higher federal and possible state taxes significantly cutting the take-home, and the jackpot odds sit near 1 in 290 million.
