Was the Mega Millions Jackpot Won?

No ticket matched all six numbers required to claim the jackpot.

Since there was no top-prize winner, the estimated jackpot for the Friday, July 17, 2026, drawing has increased to $672 million, giving lottery enthusiasts another opportunity to compete for one of the year’s biggest prizes.

Three Players Become Millionaires

Although the jackpot rolled over, three lucky ticket holders matched all five white balls to secure million-dollar prizes:

• Florida: $2 million prize
• New Jersey: $3 million prize
• Georgia: $4 million prize

The varying prize amounts were due to multiplier options attached to the winning tickets.

When Is the Next Mega Millions Drawing?

Mega Millions drawings take place twice each week:

Both drawings are held at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Ticket sales close shortly before the drawing, with cutoff times differing by state.

How Mega Millions Works

Each Mega Millions ticket costs $5.

To play, participants select:

• Five numbers from 1 to 70
• One Mega Ball from 1 to 24

Players can win across nine different prize levels, with prizes starting at $10 and increasing all the way to the jackpot.

What Are the Odds?

• Odds of winning any prize: About 1 in 23
• Odds of hitting the jackpot: 1 in 302,575,350

If no one matches all six numbers, the jackpot carries over to the next scheduled drawing.

Cash Prize or Annual Payments?

Jackpot winners can choose one of two payout methods:

• Lump-Sum Cash: A single payment worth less than the advertised jackpot because it reflects the present cash value.
• Annuity: Thirty annual payments that increase over time and total the full advertised jackpot amount.

Most winners historically prefer the cash payout.

Biggest Mega Millions Jackpots Ever

Despite its impressive size, the $637 million prize still ranks below the largest jackpots in Mega Millions history.

Why Are Jackpots Growing So Quickly?

Mega Millions jackpots have become significantly larger over the past several years because of changes made to the game.

Lottery officials revised the game’s format in 2017, making the jackpot more difficult to win by increasing the odds against matching all six numbers. More missed jackpots mean more rollovers, allowing the prize to build over multiple drawings.

The ticket price also increased to $5 in 2025, supporting larger starting jackpots and enhanced prize offerings.

The search for Mega Millions’ next jackpot winner continues after Tuesday’s drawing ended without a grand prize winner. The jackpot now stands at an estimated $672 million for the upcoming July 17, 2026, drawing, while three players still celebrated multi-million-dollar wins after matching all five white balls.
