The Mega Millions jackpot now sits at an estimated $792 million after no tickets matched the winning numbers during Tuesday night's drawing.
The Mega Millions jackpot rose to an estimated $792 million after nobody won the grand prize in Tuesday night's drawing. The winning numbers drawn Tuesday night were 2, 16, 31, 57 and 64 with a Mega ball of 24. The Megaplier was 3X. Nobody claimed the $735 million grand prize Tuesday night, but two players – one in Massachusetts and one in North Carolina – matched all five white balls to win the game's second-tier prize of $1 million.
Winners typically select the cash prize over the Mega Millions annuity paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 302,575,350, according to the game. The Mega Millions jackpot was last won on Dec. 8, when two winners in California matched all six numbers to take home the $395 million prize.
The record $1.602 billion jackpot was won in Florida on August 8, 2023. That prize is the world’s largest lottery ever won on a single ticket. The current $792 million jackpot is the sixth-largest prize ever offered by the game. Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The deadline for purchasing a ticket is 9:45 p.m. on draw nights.
