What this drawing looked like
- Sum of the numbers170The five drawn numbers add up to 170. For this game a draw can total anywhere from 15 to 340, with the middle of that range at about 178.
- Spread6368 minus 5 — how far apart the highest and lowest drawn numbers were.
- Odd and even2 odd · 3 evenA count of the numbers actually drawn. It says nothing about what the next drawing will do.
- Low and high half2 low · 3 highSplit at 35: numbers 1–35 count as low, 36–70 as high.
- Where they landed1–10: 2 · 31–40: 1 · 41–50: 1 · 61–70: 1The drawn numbers fell in 4 of the 7 blocks of ten.
- Consecutive numbersNoneNo two drawn numbers were next to each other. Consecutive pairs are common and carry no meaning for a future drawing.
- Repeated from the previous drawingNoneNumbers that appeared in the drawing before this one. Each drawing is independent, so a repeat neither raises nor lowers the chance of anything.
- Mega Ball17The Mega Ball is drawn from its own separate pool, so it can repeat a main number without that meaning anything.

Counted from the 300 advertised Mega Millions jackpot figures held for this page, from 2023-12-19 to 2026-10-30. A run is the drawings between one top-prize win and the next, and growth is the difference between advertised amounts — it describes what has already been advertised; the operator sets the next figure from ticket sales.
Jackpot alerts are not available yet
You can’t yet choose a jackpot amount and be told when the advertised Mega Millions jackpot reaches it, so nothing can be set here. The advertised jackpot above is updated after every drawing.

About these prize amounts
From the official prize chart — Mega Millions game rules (Multi-State Lottery Association), checked ; next check by 2027-04-20. The operator’s own rules are the authority on what any match pays.
In California, Mega Millions prizes below the jackpot are pari-mutuel and can differ from the amounts shown.
Where Mega Millions differs by jurisdiction (4)
Sold only in U.S. selling jurisdictions
Mega Millions is officially sold only in U.S. selling jurisdictions. There is no official sale outside the United States, and no site can legally sell you an official Mega Millions ticket overseas.
The multiplier belongs to the ticket, not to the drawing
Because the multiplier is assigned to each play at purchase, it is printed on the ticket. Checking a non-jackpot win means reading the multiplier from your own ticket — there is no drawing-level multiplier to look up.
California pari-mutuel exception
In California, Mega Millions prizes below the jackpot are pari-mutuel and can differ from the amounts shown.
Claims and taxes are local
A Mega Millions prize is claimed from the lottery that sold the ticket, under that jurisdiction's own claim process, deadlines and tax withholding.
Rule changes
- Five numbers 1–70 plus a Mega Ball 1–24 from 2025-04-08
The current matrix draws 5 numbers from 1 through 70 and one Mega Ball from 1 through 24, in force since 2025-04-08.
The operator’s published rules are the authority on all of this. Where a figure is not captured here, it says so rather than showing a number.

Where these numbers come from, and what this page will not tell you
Where Mega Millions is played
Mega Millions results, tools and guides on this page are available to anyone, anywhere — but the game itself is sold only in U.S. selling jurisdictions. If someone contacts you claiming you have won a Mega Millions prize you did not buy a ticket for, it is a scam; no lottery asks a winner for a payment to release a prize.
No lottery contacts a winner to ask for a payment, a fee or bank details before releasing a prize, and no lottery awards a prize to someone who never bought a ticket. A message claiming otherwise is a scam, whatever it looks like.
This page sells no tickets and shows no purchase link: where a ticket can legally be bought depends on your jurisdiction, and this hub has no jurisdiction context to resolve it from.
The official result is the only final one
Only the official result is final. Before acting on anything here — and always before travelling to claim — check the result with the lottery that sold the ticket.
Claims and taxes are local
Mega Millions is one game with one drawing, but every prize is claimed from the lottery that sold the ticket, under its own deadlines, claim routes and tax withholding. A retailer can pay small prizes in most jurisdictions; larger ones go to the lottery itself. Nothing on this page is tax advice.
About these numbers and charts
Results come from LotteryCorner’s results feed of the lottery’s published drawings. Every chart and count on this page describes drawings that have already happened.
Hot, Cold and Longest out are labels for past frequency and elapsed time. They do not predict the next drawing: each drawing is independent and every valid line has the same odds. There is no such thing as an overdue number, and no system can predict winning numbers.
Smart Picks and random sets are player-preference and entertainment tools. They do not change anyone’s chance of winning.
LotteryCorner is independent. It is not a lottery and cannot validate a ticket — only the lottery that sold it can.
Matching everything is 1 in 290,472,336.
Playing responsibly
Lottery games are for adults — 18 or older in most jurisdictions, and older in some. Play with money you can afford to lose, and never to recover a loss. If it stops feeling like a game, help is available: the National Problem Gambling Helpline is 1-800-522-4700, free and confidential, 24 hours a day.
Common questions
When is the Mega Millions drawing?
Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m. ET. Ticket sales close set by each state lottery — check yours before the drawing.
All times on this page are Eastern Time, which is the time the drawing is held in.
How do I play Mega Millions?
You pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70, and one Mega Ball from 1 to 24. The Mega Ball comes from its own separate pool, so it can repeat one of your main numbers.
A play costs $5 per play.
What are the odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot?
Matching everything is 1 in 290,472,336. That figure is counted from the published number matrix, not quoted from anywhere.
The odds are identical on every ticket and every drawing. They do not move with the jackpot, with how long it has rolled, or with which numbers you choose.
How much is a smaller match worth?
See the prize table above.
The odds of every possible match ARE shown, in full, in the odds table above.
How does Multiplier work?
Included with every play; with 10X, Match 5 pays $10 million.
What is the cash value, and why is it not shown?
The advertised jackpot is paid as an annuity over many years. A winner may usually take a smaller lump sum instead, called the cash value.
No cash value is published for the next drawing yet. A cash value comes from the game operator and is never worked out here from the annuity figure.
How do I claim a prize?
From the lottery that sold the ticket, under its own claim process, deadlines and tax withholding. Mega Millions is one game with one drawing, but the claim is always local.
LotteryCorner is not a lottery and cannot validate a ticket. Nothing on this page is tax advice.
Can any of these tools tell me which numbers are coming next?
No. Every analysis on this page describes drawings that have already happened. Each drawing is independent, so no pattern, gap, streak or generated line changes what the next one will do.
There is no such thing as an overdue number, and no system can predict winning numbers. The tools here explain, organise and compare — nothing more.
