Current Jackpot Status
As of November 11, 2025, the Mega Millions jackpot stands at an estimated $900 million, making it the eighth largest jackpot in the game's history. The cash option for this prize is approximately $415.3 million. This significant increase in the jackpot follows a period without a winner since June 27, when a ticket in Virginia won a $348 million prize.
Winning Numbers and Prize Structure
The winning numbers drawn on November 11 were 10, 13, 40, 42, 46, with a Mega Ball of 1. Although no one won the jackpot, tickets purchased in Iowa and New York matched the five white balls, each winning $3 million with a 3X multiplier. A ticket from Arizona matched the same five white balls with a 5X multiplier, resulting in a $5 million prize.
The Mega Millions game allows players to select five numbers from a pool of 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball from a pool of 1 to 24. The cost of a ticket is $5, which includes a built-in multiplier that can increase non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.

Tax Implications for Winners
If a winner emerges in the next drawing, they will have the option to choose between the annuity payout, which is distributed over 30 years, or a lump sum cash payment. The lump sum option would be subject to a federal withholding tax of 24%, potentially reducing the payout further depending on the winner's tax bracket. For example, a winner opting for the cash payout could take home approximately $280.5 million after federal taxes.
Upcoming Drawings
The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Friday, November 14, 2025, at 11 p.m. ET. Players can purchase tickets until 10:45 p.m. on the night of the draw in Michigan, with varying deadlines in other states.
