Tonight’s Mega Millions Drawing: Winning Numbers, Jackpot Odds & Last-Minute Ticket Tips

Friday’s Mega Millions winning numbers and jackpot details The Mega Millions numbers drawn on Friday, June 20, 2025 were 26 - 49 - 58 - 61 - 63 and Mega Ball 9. No ticket matched all six numbers, so the top prize rolled over once again. As a result, the jackpot for the next drawing climbs to an estimated $302 million, with a cash option of $136 million according to the official game site. Why the jackpot is surging The current run began after a Missouri player hit a $560 million prize on March 18. Since then, 17 consecutive drawings have produced no grand-prize winner, allowing the pool to grow by roughly $20–25 million each time. Secondary prizes, however, continue to flow: Friday’s drawing produced two $1 million Match 5 winners in California and New York, plus more than 650,000 lower-tier payouts nationwide.
