The Mega Millions jackpot soared to $900 million in the Tuesday, November 11 drawing, captivating lottery players nationwide. No ticket matched all six numbers, so the estimated jackpot has now rolled over to a staggering $965 million for the next drawing, making this one of the largest prizes in Mega Millions history.
Winning Numbers and Jackpot Details
The winning numbers for the November 11, 2025, Mega Millions draw were 10, 13, 40, 42, 46, with the gold Mega Ball 1. Despite strong ticket sales and widespread anticipation, no one claimed the $900 million top prize, extending an already historic jackpot run. For Friday’s upcoming drawing, the jackpot will climb even higher to an estimated $965 million, with a cash option of approximately $445.3 million for those who opt for a lump sum payout.
Prize Winners and Odds
Although there was no grand prize winner, Mega Millions officials reported over 809,000 winning tickets across all prize tiers in the November 11 drawing, resulting in nationwide winnings of more than $27.9 million. Three tickets matched the five white balls, securing the game’s second-tier prize; one ticket sold in Arizona hit the 5X multiplier for a $5 million win, while tickets in Iowa and New York took home $3 million each thanks to the 3X multiplier.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot remain exceedingly slim at 1 in 292.2 million, but smaller cash prizes are won every week, keeping hope alive for millions of players.
How Mega Millions Works
Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $2 for the base game, with additional options like the Megaplier for increased non-jackpot prizes.
