Mega Millions Jackpot Rises to $173 Million: Winning Numbers for May 27, 2025

The Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery game offering large jackpots. To play, you must purchase a ticket and select six numbers – five white balls (ranging from 1 to 70) and one gold Mega Ball (ranging from 1 to 24). Tickets can be bought at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Some states also allow online ticket purchases through services like Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network.

Mega Millions tickets now include a built-in multiplier, increasing non-jackpot prizes by two to ten times. Drawings occur on Tuesday and Friday evenings. If you match all six numbers, you win the jackpot. Smaller prizes are awarded for matching some, but not all, of the numbers.

Several other lottery games are available, such as the Oregon Lottery's Pick 4, which holds drawings four times daily. Results for these can vary by state.

Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Online purchases are available in some states via services like Jackpocket.

The winning numbers are 6, 28, 34, 48, 62, Mega Ball: 9.

Pick five white ball numbers (1-70) and one gold Mega Ball number (1-24), or select a "Quick Pick" to have the numbers randomly generated.
