Mega Millions Jackpot Rises to $965 Million Ahead of Friday Drawing

Friday’s game will be the record 40th drawing of this run after months without a jackpot win.

Overview

  • Tuesday’s numbers were 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and Mega Ball 1, and no ticket matched all six to claim the top prize.
  • The next drawing is Friday, with the current run stretching back to the last jackpot hit on June 27 in Virginia, and this pot ranks as the game’s eighth-largest.
  • A winner could choose a lump-sum cash option estimated at $445.3 million or a 30-year annuity.
  • Officials reported 809,030 non-jackpot winners from Tuesday, including a $5 million 5X ticket sold in Arizona and $3 million 3X tickets in Iowa and New York.
  • This year’s format changes raised the ticket price to $5 and added built-in 2x–10x multipliers that boost non-jackpot payouts across prize tiers.
