Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs to $900 Million Ahead of Tuesday’s Drawing

The Mega Millions jackpot is once again reaching eye-popping territory, now standing at an estimated $900 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in Friday’s drawing.

The winning numbers from the last drawing were 16, 21, 23, 48, and 70, with the gold Mega Ball number 5. With no jackpot winner, the prize continues to climb and could approach the $1 billion mark ahead of the next drawing on Tuesday, November 11.

This current jackpot ranks as the eighth largest since Mega Millions began in 2002 and marks only the third time the grand prize has reached this level since the record-setting $1.6 billion jackpot won in 2023.

Players can purchase tickets until 7:45 p.m. on the night of the drawing, and winners can choose between the full jackpot paid out over 30 years or a lump-sum cash option that will be significantly lower after taxes.
