The Mega Millions jackpot is climbing! After no one matched all six numbers in the January 27, 2026, drawing, the jackpot has rolled over to an estimated $303 million ($136.7 million cash option) for the drawing on Friday, January 30, 2026....
The Mega Millions lottery continues to be a major source of excitement across the 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands where it is legal. With jackpots reaching substantial amounts, such as the current $303 million, many people are eager to try their luck. The largest Mega Millions jackpot ever won was $1.602 billion in August 2023 in Florida.
**How to Play:** To play Mega Millions, you must select six numbers: five numbers from 1 to 70 (white balls) and one number from 1 to 24 (the gold Mega Ball). You can also choose the Easy Pick/Quick Pick option for randomly generated numbers. The Megaplier feature has been replaced with a built-in multiplier that increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or 10 times. This multiplier is automatically included with every play.
**Prize Tiers:** Prizes range from $2 to the full jackpot amount, depending on how many numbers you match. Even matching just the Mega Ball wins a prize.
**Where to Find Winning Numbers:** Winning numbers are broadcast on YouTube and posted on the Mega Millions website and Michigan Lottery website.
