10/6/2025 – The twelfth-largest jackpot in Mega Millions® history will be up for grabs next Tuesday, October 7! The big prize rolls to an estimated $547 million ($251.7 million cash) after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night – the white balls 18, 19, 38, 54, and 57, plus the gold Mega Ball 19.
The October 3 drawing produced 346,980 winning tickets across all prize tiers, for a total of almost $7.0 million in winnings. Ten tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the game’s third-tier prize: seven at 2X for $20,000 (two each in California and Missouri, plus one each in New Jersey, New York and Ohio) and three at 3X for $30,000 (Connecticut, New Jersey and New York).

Note: Prize amounts in California will vary, as they are calculated on a pari-mutuel basis.
In this current jackpot run, there have been more than 7.5 million winning tickets at all levels, with prizes worth more than $177.6 million. Over the 28 drawings beginning July 1, there have been 10 multi-million second-tier prizes. Five were won at $2 million (California, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina and Virginia) and five at $3 million (two in California and one each in Florida, Georgia and New York).
