Mega Millions Jackpot Becomes the 8th Largest In History

With this latest rollover, the Mega Millions jackpot now surpasses the $800 million prize won in Texas in 2024. This marks the 12th consecutive drawing in which the drawing has increased, reflecting a growing participation in the game. 

If the jackpot is claimed in the next draw, it would be the first Mega Millions grand prize win in November since 2016. It would also become the largest lottery prize ever won in November, surpassing the current record of $324 million, which was claimed in New York in 2014.

The jackpot has been rolling over since it was last won in Virginia on June 27, 2025.
